    x+2 and X-4 are the factors

    Let f (x) be x^2+8x-6

    x-2=0

    x=2

    f (2) = (2) ^2+8 (2) - 6

    = 4+16-6

    = 20-6

    = 14

    (x-2) is not a factor of f (x).

    x+2=0

    x=-2

    f (-2) = (-2) ^2+8 (-2) - 6

    = 4-16-6

    = - 18

    (x+2) is not a factor of f (x).

    x-4=0

    x=4

    f (4) = (4) ^2+8 (4) - 6

    = 16+32-6

    = 10+32

    = 42

    (x-4) is not a factor of f (x).

    Since none of the given factors are the factors of f (x), and the question states that one of the statements given above are true, the true statement is that the polynomial is prime.
