Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation

K = \(\begin{pmatrix}2 & 1\\3 & 4\end{pmatrix}\)

K\(^2\) =  K = \(\begin{pmatrix}2 & 1\\3 & 4\end{pmatrix}\) x  K = \(\begin{pmatrix}2 & 1\\3 & 4\end{pmatrix}\)  = \(\begin{pmatrix}7 & 6\\18 & 19\end{pmatrix}\)

I =  \(\begin{pmatrix}1 & 0\\0 & 1\end{pmatrix}\)

K\(^2\) + K + I =  \(\begin{pmatrix}7 & 6\\18 & 19\end{pmatrix}\) +  \(\begin{pmatrix}2 & 1\\3 & 4\end{pmatrix}\) +  \(\begin{pmatrix}1 & 0\\0 & 1\end{pmatrix}\)

=  \(\begin{pmatrix}10 & 7\\21 & 24\end{pmatrix}\)
