Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

\(\frac{ 5 + \sqrt{7}}{3 + \sqrt{7}}\)

multiply the denominator and the numerator by the conjugate of 3 + \(\sqrt{7}\) → 3 - \(\sqrt{7}\)

\(\frac{ 5 + \sqrt{7}}{3 + \sqrt{7}}\) x \(\frac{3 - \sqrt{7}}{3 - \sqrt{7}}\)

\(\frac{15 - 5\sqrt{7} + 3\sqrt{7} - 7}{3^2 - (\sqrt{7})^2}\)

\(\frac{8 - 2\sqrt{7}}{9 - 7}\) = \(\frac{ 8 - 2\sqrt{7}}{2}\)

= 4 - \(\sqrt{7}\)
