If 9 i is a root of the polynomial function f of x , which of the following must also be a root of f of x ?

For a polynomial with real coefficients, any nonreal complex root must occur with its complex conjugate. The conjugate of 9i is −9i, so −9i must also be a root. The other choices are not the complex conjugate of 9i.
