Answer:

Hence, option C is correct.

Explanation:

We are asked to add two fractions:


(q)/(q^2+5q+6) and
(1)/(q^2+3q+2)

i.e.


(q)/(q^2+5q+6)+(1)/(q^2+3q+2)

We know that:


q^2+5q+6 could also be written as:


q^2+5q+6=q^2+3q+2q+6\\\\=q(q+3)+2(q+3)\\\\=(q+2)(q+3)

Similarly
q^2+3q+2 could also be written aS:


q^2+3q+2=q^2+2q+q+2\\\\=q(q+2)+1(q+2)\\\\\=(q+1)(q+2)

Hence we have to add:


(q)/((q+2)(q+3))+(1)/((q+1)(q+2))\\\\\\=(q* (q+1)+1* (q+3))/((q+1)(q+2)(q+3))\\\\\\=(q^2+q+q+3)/((q+1)(q+2)(q+3))\\\\\\=(q^2+2q+3)/((q+1)(q+2)(q+3))

Hence, Option C is correct.
