Answer:

Option (2)

Explanation:

On a graph, factors or zeros of a polynomial function f(x) are represented by the x-intercepts (values for y = 0).

From the graph attached,

Quadratic function has two x-intercepts, x = 1 and x = 6.

Therefore, (x - 1) and (x - 5) are the zero factors of the given polynomial.

Option (2) will be the answer.
