The correct answer is B.

Step-by-step explanation

The multiplicity simply tells us how many times the roots repeat or how many times the factor multiplies itself in the polynomial.


(x+4) is multiplying itself three times, so its root -4 has multiplicity of 3.


(x-10) repeats once so its root 10 will have a multiplicity of 1.

Also, for the leading coefficient to be 2 then the constant factor should be 2.

Hence the correct answer is option B
