(C) Let the point be $(x, y)$ on the line $x+y+3=0$. So,$y = -x-3$. The point is $(x, -x-3)$.The distance of this point from the line $x+2y+2=0$ is given by $\frac{|x+2(-x-3)+2|}{\sqrt{1^2+2^2}} = \sqrt{5}$.$\frac{|x-2x-6+2|}{\sqrt{5}} = \sqrt{5} \implies |-x-4| = 5$.$|x+4| = 5 \implies x+4 = 5$ or $x+4 = -5$.So,$x_1 = 1$ and $x_2 = -9$.The value of $|x_1-x_2| = |1 - (-9)| = |10| = 10$.
