Solution

The correct option is A
$2 π \sqrt{\frac{m}{(k_{1} + k_{2})}}$

The two springs are connected in parallel. Therefore, the force constant of the combination, $k^{'} = k_{1} + k_{2}$
Now, time period, $T = 2 π \sqrt{\frac{m}{k^{'}}} = 2 π \sqrt{\frac{m}{(k_{1} + k_{2})}}$
Hence, the correct choice is (a).
