Resposta

The correct answer is D. It has exactly 5 roots (including any repeated roots) that may be real or complex numbers.Explanation:A polynomial of degree n has exactly n roots (including any repeated roots) that may be real or complex numbers. In this case, the given polynomial is of degree 5, so it must have exactly 5 roots (including any repeated roots) that may be real or complex numbers.
