To solve the given differential equation:

\[
y' + \frac{y}{x} - \sqrt{y} = 0
\]

we can analyze it as follows:

1. **Rewrite the equation**:
   Rewrite \( y' \) as \(\frac{dy}{dx}\), so the equation becomes:
   \[
   \frac{dy}{dx} + \frac{y}{x} - \sqrt{y} = 0.
   \]

2. **Separate Variables (if possible)**:
   To simplify, let’s try a substitution to reduce this into a simpler form. We can use the substitution \( y = v^2 \), where \( v = \sqrt{y} \) (implying \( y^{1/2} = v \)). Then,
   \[
   y' = 2v \cdot \frac{dv}{dx}.
   \]

   Substituting \( y = v^2 \) and \( y' = 2v \cdot \frac{dv}{dx} \) into the differential equation, we get:
   \[
   2v \frac{dv}{dx} + \frac{v^2}{x} - v = 0.
   \]

3. **Simplify the Equation**:
   Divide through by \( v \) (assuming \( v \neq 0 \)):
   \[
   2 \frac{dv}{dx} + \frac{v}{x} - 1 = 0.
   \]
   Rearranging gives:
   \[
   2 \frac{dv}{dx} = 1 - \frac{v}{x}.
   \]

4. **Solve the Differential Equation**:
   This equation can now be solved as a first-order linear differential equation for \( v \) in terms of \( x \). Solving this will give us the form of \( y \) in terms of \( x \).

Given the options in the question, none appear to directly match this form, so it would suggest that the answer might be:

**d. None of these**
