Answer the question.Let P be a polynomial function with a leading coefficient of 1 and having the following zeros: 3 (multiplicity 1), -1 (multiplicity 3), 8 (multiplicity 2), and -9 (multiplicity 4). State the degree of P and write P(x) in factored form.

A. Degree 4; P(x) = (x - 3)(x + 1)(x - 8)(x + 9) B. Degree 10; P(x) = (x + 3)(x - 1)3(x + 8)2(x - 9)4 C. Degree 10; P(x) = (x - 3)(x + 1)3(x - 8)2(x + 9)4 D. Degree 14; P(x) = (x - 3)2(x + 1)4(x - 9)3(x - 9)5
