Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation

Rationalization with conjugate \({3+√2}\)

 \(\frac{1}{3-√2}\)

→ \(\frac{1 * [3+√2]}{[3-√2][3+√2]}\)

=  \(\frac{3+√2}{9 -3√2 + 3√2 + √4}\)

=  \(\frac{3+√2}{9 - 2}\) →  \(\frac{3+√2}{7}\)

= \(\frac{3}{7}\) +  \(\frac{√2}{7}\)

There is an explanation video available below.
