This might not make sense.

f(a+b) = f(a) + f(b) is the definition of a linear function.

Therefore the answers can only be B or E.

f(a) + f(b) = a + b + 2 != f(a+b)

So the answer is E.

Obviously you could go through each of them with values for a and b or variables and multiply out squareds and roots.
