Solution

The correct option is B
x - 3

Given that Manish is three years younger than Nitish. So, Manish's age is always three years less than Nitish's age.

For example;- if Nitish’s age is 12 years, his brother’s age would be 12-3 =9 years.

So, if Nitish’s age is ‘x’, then the expression for Manish’s age would be (x-3).
