[tex](2-\sqrt3)-a\ root\ of\ a\ polynomial\\\\another\ root\ must\ be\ C.\ (2+\sqrt3),\ because\\\\\ [x-(2-\sqrt3)][x-(2+\sqrt3)]=(x-2+\sqrt3)(x-2-\sqrt3)\\\\=[(x-2)+\sqrt3][(x-2)-\sqrt3]\\\\\text{use}\ (a-b)(a+b)=a^2-b^2\\\\=(x-2)^2-(\sqrt3)^2\\\\\text{use}\ (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\\\\=x^2-2(x)(2)+2^2-3=x^2-4x+4-3=x^2-4x+1[/tex]

[tex]Answer:\ \boxed{C.\ (2+\sqrt3)}[/tex]
