The correct answer is: 0
$\alpha$ and $\beta$ are the roots of the given equation, then
$\alpha+\beta=-\frac{\mathrm{b}}{\mathrm{a}}$ and $\alpha \beta=\frac{\mathrm{b}}{\mathrm{a}}$
$\sqrt{\frac{\alpha}{\beta}}+\sqrt{\frac{\beta}{\alpha}}+\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{b}}{\mathrm{a}}}$
$=\frac{\alpha+\beta}{\sqrt{\alpha \beta}}+\sqrt{\alpha \beta}$
$=\frac{\alpha+\beta+\alpha \beta}{\sqrt{\alpha \beta}}=\frac{-\frac{\mathrm{b}}{\mathrm{a}}+\frac{\mathrm{b}}{\mathrm{a}}}{\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{b}}{\mathrm{a}}}}=0$
