Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

Since the given triangle is a right angle triangle and it has been given that squares 1, 2 and 3 are constructed on its respective sides.

Since the triangle is the right angle triangle so it will follow Pythagoras theorem.

Hypotenuse² = (height )² + (base)²

since hypotenuse is the one side of square 3

so area of square 3 = Hypotenuse²

similarly height² = area of square 1

Base² = area of square 2

so area of 1 + area of 2 = area of 3 will be defined by the Pythagoras theorem.

Therefore, Option D. is the answer.
