    So, I think that you mean that

    n²+m² is even? (the "plus" sign is missing, but I think this is correct).

    this can only happen if either:

    both n and m are even

    or

    both n and m are odd

    That's because a sum of two expressions is even if either both or none of the expressions summed is even, and a power of a number is even only if the number is even too.

    are those some of the options?

    yes!

    n and m are even, - possible!

    n and m are odd, - possible!

    n+m is even, - possible; it would be the case i f either both n and m are even or both n and m are odd n+m is odd,

    so the option we'll choose is:

    none of these are impossible
