Solution

The correct option is D $L_{1} + L_{2} + 2 M$
Series connection of 2 inductors can be divided into two categories.
Case 1: When current through both the inductors is in same direction.
Effective inductance of the circuit, $L = L_{1} + L_{2} + 2 M$

Case 2: When current through both the inductors is in opposite direction.
Effective inductance of the circuit, $L = L_{1} + L_{2} - 2 M$

Since for the circuit given in he question belongs to 1st case.
Therefore effective inductance of the circuit, $L = L_{1} + L_{2} + 2 M$
