Answer:

4

Explanation:

If there are 4 real zeros, the polynomial degree must be at least 4.

_____

The "fundamental theorem of algebra" says the number of polynomial zeros will be equal to the degree of the polynomial. If there are no complex zeros, then the degree will match the number of real zeros.
