   (d) None of these

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   Although the matrix's own name/label and the operator symbol between the two matrices are obscured by a scan defect, the arithmetic can be recovered: treating the given matrix and C as being added, the sum matches option (a) exactly.

   Note on the source scan: the label of the first matrix (e.g. 'A' or 'B') and the operator between the two matrices are lost to a page-defect blot. Given matrix (unnamed) = [[2, 4], [3, 2]] and C = [[−2, 5], [3, 4]].
