Answer:

Option B. 4

Explanation:

The given expression is x² + 4x + -----

We have to find a number which can be added in the expression to make it a perfect square trinomial.

x² + 2(2x) + 2²

= (x + 2)²

Therefore, if we add 4 in the given expression it becomes a perfect trinomial.

Option B is the correct option.
