B Correct answer
Explanation

For a quadratic equation x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0, the product of roots is c/a = 6. If one root is 2, the other root must be 6/2 = 3.

AI explanation

By Vieta's formulas, the product of the roots equals c/a, so multiplying 2 by the unknown root gives 6. Dividing 6 by 2 yields the other root as 3.
