    Answer : Option C

    Explanation :

    We know that the formula of (a+b) 2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab
    Let a = 11.98, and b = 0.02
    Here, the expression should be 11.98*11.98 + 0.02*0.02 + 2*11.98 * 0.02
    But the actual expression is 11.98 * 11.98 + 0.02*0.02 + 11.98 * x
    Compare both the expression, we get x = 2*0.02 = 0.04
