Given, $$\sqrt{x}=\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{5}$$
$$\Rightarrow$$ Â $$x=\left(\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{5}\right)^2$$
$$\Rightarrow$$ Â $$x=3+5-2\sqrt{15}$$
$$\Rightarrow$$ Â $$x=8-2\sqrt{15}$$ ...............(1)
$$\Rightarrow$$ Â $$x^2=\left(8-2\sqrt{15}\right)^2$$
$$\Rightarrow$$ Â $$x^2=64+60-32\sqrt{15}$$
$$\Rightarrow$$ Â $$x^2=124-32\sqrt{15}$$ ...........(2)
$$\therefore\ $$ $$x^2-16x+6=124-32\sqrt{15}-16\left(8-2\sqrt{15}\right)+6$$
$$=124-32\sqrt{15}-128+32\sqrt{15}+6$$
$$=130-128$$
$$=2$$
Hence, the correct answer is Option C
