Answer:

A

Explanation:

The Fundamental theorem of algebra tells us that a polynomial of degree n has n roots.

Here the polynomial is a cubic, that is of degree 3

Thus it will have 3 roots, real and/ or imaginary.

Since imaginary roots occur in conjugate pairs

Since the polynomial has 3 real roots there are no imaginary roots, thus

A is the required response.
