ANSWER

A.

[tex]{(x - 1)}^{2} [/tex]

EXPLANATION

The given expression is

[tex] {x}^{2} - 2x + 1[/tex]

We split the middle term to obtain,

[tex] {x}^{2} - x - x + 1[/tex]

Factor to obtain

[tex] x(x - 1) - 1(x - 1) [/tex]

Factor further to get,

[tex](x - 1)(x - 1)[/tex]

This is the same as;

[tex] {(x - 1)}^{2} [/tex]

The correct choice is A
