we know that

The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of its three length sides

we have

9x+10x^2-x^3

4x^2-7x+8

-x^2+9x+12

so

Sum the three length sides

P=(9x+10x^2-x^3)+(4x^2-7x+8)+(-x^2+9x+12)

Group terms

P=(-x^3)+(10x^2+4x^2-x^2)+(9x-7x+9x)+(8+12)

Combine like terms

P=-x^3+13x^2+11x+20

therefore

OPtion B
