Answer:

Option B.

Explanation:

Note: Given roots are not in proper format.

Consider the polynomial function f(x) has roots 0, 3, and
2+√(15).

According to irrational root theorem if
a+√(b) is root of a polynomial P(x), then
a-√(b) is also a root of polynomial P(x).

Since
2+√(15) is an irrational root of the function f(x). By irrational root theorem
2-√(15) is also a root of function f(x).

Therefore, the correct option is B.
