Answer: Choice D

(3+5i) - (2+i)

We can verify this by the following steps

(3+5i) - (2+i)

3+5i - 2 - i .... distribute the negative to all terms in the parenthesis

(3-2) + (5i-i)

1 + 4i

------------

Something like choice C is close, but not quite there

(3+5i) - (2+i)

(3+5i) - (2-i)

3+5i - 2+i

(3-2) + (5i+i)

1 + 6i

Choices A and B aren't a match as well for similar reasons, though they aren't as close as choice C is.
