The given expression is x^4 + 4.
To find the factors, we can use the factoring formula a^2 - b^2 = (a+b)(a-b).
Using this formula, we can rewrite the expression as (x^2)^2 + 2^2, which is in the form a^2 + b^2.
So, the factors of the expression are (x^2 + 2)(x^2 - 2).
None of the given options, a) x^2 + 2 or b) (x is a factor of the given expression.
