Answer:

D

Explanation:

The conditions for the discriminant and the roots of the equation are

• If b² - 4ac > 0 then 2 real and distinct roots

• If b² - 4ac = 0 then 2 real and equal roots

• If b² - 4ac < 0 then roots are complex

here the discriminant is positive , that is greater than zero , then

the equation has two real solutions D
