    Answer : Option B

    Explanation :

    \( [\sqrt{x}-\)\( \frac { 1 } { \sqrt{X} } )^2\)=X+\( \frac { 1 } { X } -2\)

    =(3+\(2\sqrt{2}\))+\( \frac { 1 } {(3+2€‹€‹€‹€‹€‹€‹ \sqrt{2)}} -2\)

     =(3+\(2\sqrt{2}\))+\( \frac { 1 } {(3+2€‹€‹€‹€‹€‹€‹ \sqrt{2)}} \)*\(\frac {( 3-€‹€‹€‹€‹2 \sqrt{2})} { (3-2\sqrt{2} )} -2\)

    =(3+\(2\sqrt{2}\))+(3-\(2\sqrt{2}\))-2

    =4

    [\(\sqrt{X}\)-\(\frac { 1 } { \sqrt{X} }\)]=2
