ANSWER

D. 2

Step-by-step explanation

We have to find the value of x such that the rational expression is equal to zero.


(2-x)/(2+x)

This rational expression will be equal to zero when the numerator of the expression is equal to 0.

This means that:


\begin{gathered} 2-x=0 \\ \text{Solve for x:} \\ x=2 \end{gathered}

The answer is option D.
