(B) 2 units

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given equation of pair of parallel straight lines \(\begin{aligned} & x^2+2 \sqrt{2} x y+2 y^2+4 x+4 \sqrt{2} y+1=0 \\ & (x+\sqrt{2} y+2+\sqrt{3})(x+\sqrt{2} y+2-\sqrt{3})=0 \end{aligned}\) Now, distance between parallel lines \(x+\sqrt{2} y+2+\sqrt{3}=0\) and…
