Answer:

2nd choice
x^2-x+4 is correct.

Explanation:

We need to find about which polynomial is represented by the algebra tiles.

so we just need to collect all terms written on tiles then combine them.

Notice that - means -1 and + means +1

Row wise terms are:


+x^2+x^2-x^2


-x-x+x


-x+x


-1+1+1+1


-1+1+1+1

Now combine like terms:


+x^2-x+4

Hence 2nd choice is correct.
