To complete the square, we want a number such that:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 2\sqrt{a}=7 \\ a=(\frac{7}{2})^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

because in this way we can writte the square as follows:

[tex]\begin{gathered} x^2+7x+(\frac{7}{2})^2=4+(\frac{7}{2})^2 \\ (x+\frac{7}{2})^2=4+(\frac{7}{2})^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence the answer is the last option:

[tex](\frac{7}{2})^2[/tex]
