  • A

    If $a^2-2 b < 0$, then the equation has one real and two imaginary roots

  • B

    If $a^2-2 b \geq 0$, then the equation has all real roots.

  • C

    If $a^2-2 b > 0$, then the equation has all real and distinct roots.

  • D

    If $4 a^3-27 b^2 > 0$, then the equation has real and distinct roots.
