Answer:

Option A is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

For a perfect square quadratic equation discriminant b²-4ac is zero.

Option A

x²-6x+9, a = 1 , b = -6 and c = 9

b²-4ac = 36 - 4 x 1 x 9 = 0

Correct answer.

Option B

x²-2x+4, a = 1 , b = -2 and c = 4

b²-4ac = 4 - 4 x 1 x 4 = -12

Wrong answer.

Option C

x²+5x+10, a = 1 , b = 5 and c = 10

b²-4ac = 25 - 4 x 1 x 10 = -15

Wrong answer.

Option D

x²+4x+16, a = 1 , b = 4 and c = 16

b²-4ac = 16 - 4 x 1 x 16 = -48

Wrong answer.
