    A (361)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    A "perfect square trinomial" has the form

    ax^2 + 2ab + b^2. If a happens to be 1, which it is in the given x^2 - 19x + c, then 2 (1) (b) = - 19. Solving for b, we get b = - 19/2.

    Then b^2 in the general "perfect square trinomial" is the same as c: (-19/2) ^2, or 90.25, or 90 1/4, or 361/4/

    Choosing A (361) makes the given expression a perfect square trinomial.
