The correct answer is: " √x − 2√b " .
_________________________________________________________

The "conjugate" of " √x + 2√b " is: " √x − 2√b " .
_________________________________________________________

Step-by-step explanation:
_________________________________________________________
In an expression with 2 (TWO) terms; that is, in a "binomial expression",
the "conjugate" of that expression refers to that very expression — with the "sign" in between those two terms—"reverse" (e.g. "minus" becomes "plus" ; or, "plus" becomes "minus" .) .
_________________________________________________________

→ So: We are given: " √x + 2√b " .

→ Note that this is a "binomial expression" ;

→ that is, there are 2 (TWO) terms: " √x " ; and: " 2√b " .
_________________________________________________________

To find the "conjugate" of the given binomial expression:

" √x + 2√b " ;

We simply change the "+" {plus sign} to a "−" {minus sign} ; and rewrite:
___________________________________________________________

" √x − 2√b " ;

→ which is the "conjugate" ; and is the correct answer:
___________________________________________________________
" √x − 2√b " ; is the "conjugate" of the expression: " √x + 2√b " .
___________________________________________________________
{that is: " √x − 2√b " ; is the conjugate.}.
