Answer:

C.
3 \sqrt{ (7)/(5) } + \sqrt{ - (9)/(5) }

Explanation:

Recall that:


√( - 1) = i

For this particular question, you just have to look for the radical containing a negative sign under the square root i.e a negative radicand.

That will be option C.

This is given as


3 \sqrt{ (7)/(5) } + \sqrt{ - (9)/(5) }

This can be rewritten to reveal the complex part as:


3 \sqrt{ (7)/(5) } + \sqrt{ (9)/(5) }i

Therefore the correct answer us option C
