D Correct answer
Explanation

For any natural numbers m > 1, $2m, m^{2} - 1$, $m^{2} + 1$ form a Pythagorean triplet.
If we take $m^2 + 1 = 22$, then $m^2 = 21$
The value of m will not be an integer.
If we take $m^2 - 1 = 22$, then $m^2 = 23$
Again the value of m will not be an integer.
Let $2m = 22$
$m = \cfrac{22}{2}$
$m = 11$
$2m = 2 \times 11 = 22$
$m^{2} - 1$ = $11^{2} - 1$
$= 121 - 1 = 120$
$m^{2} + 1$ = $11^{2} + 1$
$= 121 + 1 = 122$
Therefore, the Pythagorean triplets are $ 22, 120, 122.$

C Correct answer
Explanation

For any natural numbers m > 1, $2m, m^{2} - 1$, $m^{2} + 1$ forms a Pythagorean triplet.
If we take $m^2 + 1 = 34$, then $m^2 = 33$
The value of m will not be an integer.
If we take $m^2 - 1 = 34$, then $m^2 = 35$
Again the value of m will not be an integer.
Let $2m = 34$
$m = \dfrac{34}{2}$
$m = 17$
$2m = 2 \times 17 = 34$
$m^{2} - 1$ = $17^{2} - 1$
$= 289 - 1 = 288$
$m^{2} + 1$ = $17^{2} + 1$
$=289 + 1 = 290$
Therefore, the Pythagorean triplets are $34, 288, 290.$
