Answer:

C

Explanation:

Taking a square root of a number that doesn't have a square root like
√(17) will result in an infinite number of random digits which is an irrational number. Hence, C is the answer.

D isn't the answer because even though
√(5) is irrational, you're adding
√(5) and then subtracting
√(5) from the total sum. Hence the total sum would be 5+14.

5+
√(5)+14-
√(5) =5+14+
√(5)-
√(5)= 5+14 ==> 19 is a rational number
