automatically rule out A and D, last terms are not perfect squares
Also rule out B, since both front and back must be positive.
So it could only be C , if any at all.
take √ of both first and last, multiply those results, then double to get the middle term.
looks like C is it!
(x+1/2)^2 = x^2 + x + 1/4
