Can anyone help me with this question!

  D.  (x² -2x -3) +(-x² +4x +2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The tiles on the first row model (x² -2x -3).

The tiles on the second row model (-x² +4x +2).

If the difference is being modeled, it will show as ...

  (x² -2x -3) -(-x² +4x +2) = (x -2x -3) +(x² -4x -2) . . . . . matches none

If the sum is being modeled, it will show as ...

  (x² -2x -3) +(-x² +4x +2) . . . . . matches D

Additional comment

As is often the case, you can select the correct answer without even any understanding of the question. You can do that because the correct answer is the only one that is a true statement. All of the other answer choices are incorrectly "simplified."
