Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{\sf Option \ A}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression:

= x² - 4x + 5

We can not factor out this expression, because of we apply mid-term break to it, the factors -4x will break into are -5x + x the coefficients of which when multiplied give -5 and not +5 (side term). This is a known rule in the mid-term break formula.

  • So, the given expression is a prime expression.

[tex]\rule[225]{225}{2}[/tex]
