To perform the long division of polynomials to divide \( x^3 - x^2 + 4x + 2 \) by \( x \), we can follow these steps:

1. Divide the leading term of the dividend \( x^3 \) by the leading term of the divisor \( x \), which gives us \( x^2 \).
2. Multiply the entire divisor \( x \) by \( x^2 \) to get \( x^3 \).
3. Subtract this result from the original polynomial:

\[
(x^3 - x^2 + 4x + 2) - (x^3) = -x^2 + 4x + 2
\]

4. Now repeat the process for the new polynomial \(-x^2 + 4x + 2\). Divide the leading term \(-x^2\) by \(x\), which gives \(-x\).
5. Multiply the divisor by \(-x\) to get \(-x^2\), then subtract:

\[
(-x^2 + 4x + 2) - (-x^2) = 4x + 2
\]

6. Now repeat the process for \(4x + 2\). Divide \(4x\) by \(x\), which gives us \(4\).
7. Multiply the divisor \(x\) by \(4\) to get \(4x\):

\[
(4x + 2) - (4x) = 2
\]

Now what we have is:

\[
x^2 - x + 4 \text{ with a remainder of } 2.
\]

So we can write:

\[
\frac{x^3 - x^2 + 4x + 2}{x} = x^2 - x + 4 + \frac{2}{x}
\]

Now let's match the response with the original options given:

The division result can be summarized as:

\[
x^2 - x + 4 + \frac{2}{x}
\]

Here are the simplified terms put together for better clarity, and the correct response from the options you provided is:

**Answer:**

None of the options presented closely matches the division result of \( x^2 - x + 4 + \frac{2}{x} \).
