Josh graphs a system of equations to determine the roots of the polynomial equation . From the graph, he determines that there are two solutions to the equation. Which statement is true?

Question illustration
A
He is correct because the graph shows two intersection points.
B
He is correct because the least exponent of the system is two so there must be two solutions.
C
He is not correct because the greatest exponent of the system is five so there must be five solutions, three of which must be multiplicities or complex.
D
He is not correct because the difference of the exponents is three, so there must be three solutions, one of which is a multiplicity.
