\(|√3-2|+|3-√2|+|5+√3|+|1-√2|\)

√3 ~ 1.732 and √2 ~ 1.414
=> √3 - 2 is negative = - (2- √3)
And 1 - √2 is negative = - (√2 - 1)

=> |√3-2|+|3-√2|+|5+√3|+|1-√2|
= 2 - √3 + 3 - √2 + 5 + √3 + √2 - 1 (As modulus of a negative number is the non-negative value of that number)
= 9

So, Answer will be D
Hope it helps!
