Answer 1

(C) 1

Explanation:

In a function, a real zero is where the function is equal to zero, or:

`f(x)=0`

which can be rewritten as:

`y=0`

which is essentially the y-intercept.

Recall that the y-intercept of a graph is where the graph crosses the y-axis (the x-coordinate is equal to 0).

We can see that the graph only crosses the y-axis at one point, meaning it only has one y-intercept, meaning it has only one real zero.

Thus, the answer is (C), 1
