The answer is C and E. I could only select one in the official answer choice box.

You should know two properties:
1. The square root from a negative number is not defined, thus x+3 must be more than or equal to 0: \(x+3 \geq 0\) --> \(x \geq-3\). Eliminate options A, and B.
2. Division by 0 is not allowed, thus x+2 cannot be 0, which means that x cannot be -2. Eliminate D.
Answers C and E.
Hope it's clear.
