    B.

    5

    C.

    4

    D.

    6

    Correct option is C

    Given:

    Quadratic equation: x2 + 4x + K = 0

    We are to find the value of K for which the equation has equal roots.

    Formula Used:

    Discriminant D = b2 - 4ac

    For equal roots: D = 0

    Solution:

    Here, a = 1, b = 4, c = K

    Substitute in the discriminant formula:

    42 - 4(1)(K) = 0

    16 - 4K = 0

    4K = 16

    K = 4
