Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

It is not certain which type of function f(x) is but what we do know is that if something is a root, then it is where the function will cross the x axis or where f(x) = 0.

If -1 is a root of f(x), f(-1) = 0.

If a factor of f(x) is (x+1), f(-1) = (-1 + 1) = 0.
