The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Solving the non-homogeneous differential equation.
The given equation is a second-order linear differential equation with constant coefficients. We solve the corresponding homogeneous equation and then find the particular integral using the method of undetermined coefficients.

Step 2: Finding the particular integral.
The correct form of the particular integral is \( e^{ex} e^{-2x} \), as determined by the method of undetermined coefficients.

Step 3: Conclusion.
The correct answer is (B) \( e^{ex} e^{-2x} \).
