Answer:

The correct option is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

[tex]x^2-22x[/tex]                 ....(1)

The perfect square is defined as

[tex](x-y)^2=x^2-2xy+y^2[/tex]                  ....(2)

On comparing (1) and (2) we get

[tex]2y=22[/tex]

[tex]y=11[/tex]

To making perfect square we have to add y² in the given expression.

[tex]y^2=(11)^2=121[/tex]

Therefore the correct option is C.
