As given by the question

There are given that the many equations in the option

Now,

From the option second:


x^3-12x^2+73x-164

The factor of the given equation is:


x^3-12x^2+73x-164=(x-4)(x^2-8x+41)

Then,


(x-4)(x^2-8x+41)=(x-4)(4\pm5i)

So, the zeros of the given equation is, 4, 4-5i, and 4+5i

Hence, the correct option is B.
