Which of the following is the discriminant of the polynomial below?x² + 4x+5A. 4B. -16C. -4O oD. 5

we know that
the discriminant of the quadratic equation is equal to
[tex]D=b^2-4ac[/tex]In this problem we have
x^2+4x+5
so
a=1
b=4
c=5
substitute
[tex]\begin{gathered} D=4^2-4(1)(5) \\ D=16-20 \\ D=-4 \end{gathered}[/tex]
