Answer:

f(x) and g(x) are closed under multiplication because when multiplied, the result will be a polynomial.

Explanation:

The set of all polynomials is closed under addition, subtraction, and multiplication, because performing any of these operations on a pair of polynomials will give a polynomial result.

Comment on the question

The wording is a bit strange, because f(x) and g(x) are elements of a set (of polynomials), so cannot be said to be "closed." "Closed" is a property of a set with respect to some function, it is not a property of an element of the set.
