Answer:

A: Any Postive value or B: No Solution

Explanation:

Zero has one square root which is 0. Negative numbers don't have real square roots since a square is either positive or 0. The square roots of numbers that are not a perfect square are members of the irrational numbers. This means that they can't be written as the quotient of two integers.
