Find the x-intercepts of the polynomial function. State whether the graph crosses the x-axis, or touches the x-axis and turns around, at each intercept. f(x) = -x2(x + 2)(x2 - 1)

A. 0, touches the x-axis and turns around;
-2, crosses the x-axis;
1, touches the x-axis and turns around
B. 0, crosses the x-axis;
-2, crosses the x-axis;
-1, crosses the x-axis;
1, crosses the x-axis
C. 0, touches the x-axis and turns around;
2, crosses the x-axis;
-1, touches the x-axis and turns around;
1, touches the x-axis and turns around
D. 0, touches the x-axis and turns around;
-2, crosses the x-axis;
-1, crosses the x-axis;
