Answer:

• The graph shows a polynomial.
• The real zeros are x = -2, 3, 5.
• The least degree the polynomial can have is 3.

Explanation:

There is nothing to indicate the graph is not of a polynomial function. Its zeros are the x=intercepts: -2, 3, 5. There are 3 of them, so that is the least degree the polynomial might have.
