Which of the following is two more than the square of an odd integer?

(B) 14,361
(C) 14,643
(D) 14,737
(E) 14,981
Let the odd integer be \(O\)
Given, \(N = O^2 + 2\)
\(O^2 = N - 2\)
\(O = \sqrt{N - 2}\)
Subtract 2 from the option choices and solve for square root using Calculator, only option C will give us \(O = 119\)
Hence, option C
