The graph of a polynomial is shown in figure below, then the number of its zeros is: 
Correct Option: 2
The zeros of a polynomial are the x-coordinates of the points where the graph intersects the x-axis (where y = 0).Looking at the graph, you can see where it intersects the x-axis:1. One intersection on the left side2. One intersection at the middle3. One intersection on the right sideThe curve crosses the x-axis three times, indicating three real zeros.Therefore, the polynomial has 3 zeros.
