Answer:

C it has two real solutions

Explanation:

If the discriminant of a quadratic equation is positive, it means that the graph intersects the x-axis, and hence produces two real solutions.

If the discriminant is zero, then the graph is tangential to the x-axis, and there will be two real coincident solutions.

If the discriminant is negative, then there are two complex solutions.
