Answer: Option (D) None of the above

Explanation:

To simplify the expression
√(2) + √(6), we need to try to express both
√(2) and
√(6) in a way that allows us to combine them.

One way to do this is to rewrite
√(6) as
√(2 * 3) =
√(2) √(3) .Substituting this into the original expression, we get:


√(2) + √(2) * √(3)

We can simplify this by using the fact that


√(a)√(b) = √(a * b).


√(2) √(3) = √(2 * 3)=
√(6).

Substituting this back into the original expression, we get:


√(2) + √(6) = √(2) + √(6)

Thus, Option (D) None of the above,
