A Correct answer
Explanation

To find, value of : $\sqrt{3\,+\,2\,\sqrt{2}}\,-\,\sqrt{3\,-\,2\,\sqrt{2}}$ 
Let $x = \sqrt{3\,+\,2\,\sqrt{2}}\,-\,\sqrt{3\,-\,2\,\sqrt{2}}$ 
Squaring both sides:
$x^2$ = $\displaystyle\,\left ( \sqrt{3\,+\,2\sqrt{2}}\,-\,\sqrt{3\,-\,2\sqrt{2}} \right )^{2}$
$\displaystyle\,x^2\,=\,3\,+\,2\sqrt{2}\,+\,3\,-\,2\sqrt{2}\,-\,2(3\,+\,2\sqrt{2})(3\,-\,2\sqrt{2})$
$\Rightarrow x^2\,=\,4$
$\Rightarrow x\,=\,2$
Hence, option 'A' is correct.
