Given:

The two models for the two polynomials.

To find:

The sum of the given polynomials.

Solution:

From the given figure, it clear that


\text{First polynomial}=a^2+a+2


\text{Second polynomial}=-a-1

Adding both polynomials, we get


Sum=a^2+a+2+(-a-1)


Sum=a^2+a+2-a-1


Sum=a^2+1

Therefore, the correct option is A.
