  • AIt touches the x-axis at exactly one point.
  • BIt intersects the x-axis at two distinct points.
  • CIt does not intersect the x-axis at all.
  • DIt intersects the x-axis at three points.
Explanation

If a quadratic polynomial has no real zeros, its graph does not intersect or touch the x-axis. This means the discriminant (b² - 4ac) is negative.
