C. m^2 − 4 = 0
D. m^2 + m − 6 =0
E. m^2 + 5m + 4 = 0

$$m^2 + 4m + 4 = 0$$

$$(m+2)^2 = 0$$

m+2 =0
m = -2

put -2 as the value of m in all the options and check if the equation results in 0
Only option C results in 0 when m = -2

Hence option C is correct

$$m^2+4m+4=0$$=> $$(m+2^)2$$=0

Quick glance on the options show $$m^2$$ - 4 as $$m^2-2^2$$=> (m-2)(m+2)
Common factor (m+2)
Hence option C is correct
