To find the correct answer, you need to multiply the given polynomial by itself: $(x^2 - 3x + 1)(x^2 - 3x + 1)$. This results in $x^4 - 6x^3 + 9x^2 - 6x + 1$, which is not directly listed among the options. However, the question seems to have a mistake in its formulation since none of the provided options correctly matches the result of squaring the given polynomial. The correct squaring result should be $x^4 - 6x^3 + 9x^2 - 6x + 1$, which is not an option. Therefore, based on the provided options and the expected operation, there seems to be a misunderstanding in the question setup.
