Answer:

Option c is correct.

Explanation:

We have been given the solution of the equation:


x=(-3\pm√(3i))/(2)

We will use the formula for finding the solutions of quadratic equation.


D=b^2-4ac

Then
x=(-b\pm√(D))/(2a)

Equation
x^2+3x+3=0

a=1,b=3 and c=3


D=3^3-4(1)(3)


D=9-12=-3

Now,
x=(-3\pm√(-3))/(2)

And
√(-1)=i

So,
x=(-3\pm√(3i))/(2)

Therefore Option c is correct.
