Answer:

  A. (x +2)(x +i)(x -i)

Step-by-step explanation:

The complex factors must be conjugates, eliminating choices C and D.

The product of the complex factors will be (x^2 +1) so the remaining factor must have a constant of +2 in order for the constant in the product to be 2.

  p(x) = (x +2)(x² +1) = (x +2)(x +i)(x -i)
