Answer: First option.

Explanation:

You need to remember that to factorize the given expression
x^2+10x+21, you need to choose two numbers that when you add them you get "10" and when you multiply them you get "21".

These number are:

7 and 3

Because:


7+3=10\\7*3=21

Therefore, you get that the factorization of the expression
x^2+10x+21 is the following:


(x+3)(x+7)

You can observe that this factorization matches with the first option.
