Answer: The correct option is

(A) {-1, -5}.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the zeroes of the quadratic function graphed in the figure shown.

We know that

the zeroes of a quadratic function f(x) are the value of x for which f(x) is equal to zero.

That is, the points on the graph where the curve crosses the X-axis.

From the graph, we note that the curve of the function crosses the X-axis at the points x = 1 and x = -5.

Therefore, the zeroes of the given function are x = -1 an x = -5.

Thus, option (A) is CORRECT.
