    A

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The polynomial (x+4) (x-1) (x-2) (x-4) has zeros at x=-4,1,2,4.

    The related polynomial equation is (x+4) (x-1) (x-2) (x-4) = 0.

    In order for this equation to be true at least one of the factors must by 0 that is the only way a product can be zero (if one of it's factors is).

    So you wind up needing to solve these 4 equations:

    x+4=0 x-1=0 x-2=0 x-4=0

    x=-4 x=1 x=2 x=4

    First equation, I subtracted 4 on both sides.

    Second equation, I added 1 on both sides.

    Third equation, I added 2 on both sides.

    Fourth equation, I added 4 on both sides.

    -4,1,2,4 are all integers

    Integers are real numbers.

    So A.
