The correct option is C
$100 - x - (x + 2)$

Given, Samanth has 100 umbrellas in his shop.

If the first customer to the shop buys $x$ umbrellas, then the number of umbrellas now left with Samanth in his shop is ' $100 - x$ '.

If the second customer to the shop buys two more umbrellas than what the first customer has bought, then it means that the second customer has bought $x + 2$ umbrellas.

Hence the number of umbrellas left with Samanth is ' $100 - x - (x + 2)$ '.
