Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

Whenever we take a square root of a number the ± sign is with it like here in the question


x^2=20\\\\Apply\ square\ root\ on\ both\ sides\\sqrt{x^2}=√(20) \\\\The\ square\ cancels\ out\ with\ the\ root\x=√(20)

And then x = ±4.47 which means x has two values one is +4.47 and the other is -4.47 so Option D is our answer.
