Answer:

Option A. [tex]1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A perfect square trinomial is equal to

[tex](x+a)^{2}=x^{2}+2xa+a^{2}[/tex]

In this problem we have

[tex]x^{2}+2x[/tex]

equate the equations and solve for a

[tex]x^{2}+2x=x^{2}+2xa+a^{2}[/tex]

so

[tex]2x=2xa[/tex]

[tex]a=1[/tex]

therefore

the perfect square trinomial is equal to [tex](x+1)^{2}[/tex]
