Solution

The correct option is A $2$
The order of a differential equation is the order of the highest order derivative present in the equation.
The degree of a differential equation is the power of the highest order derivative in the equation.

${(5 + {(\frac{d y}{d x})}^{2})}^{\frac{3}{2}} = 6 \frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}$
Squaring on both sides
${(5 + {(\frac{d y}{d x})}^{2})}^{3} = {(6 \frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}})}^{2}$

Highest order derivative is $\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}$ in the above polynimial equation and its power is $2$ .
Degree is $2.$
