Answer:

A. Function f has exactly two complex solutions.

Explanation:

The function will have real solutions where the graph crosses the x-axis. It will always have a total number of solutions equal to its degree. The ones that are not real are complex.

Application

The graph has its vertex above the x-axis and extends upward from there. It never crosses the x-axis, so there are no real solutions. That means both solutions are complex.
