Solution

The correct option is D D>0
Given the quadratic polynomial f(x)=x2+bax+ca;a0
Now, given two numbers k1 & k2 such that exactly one root lies between k1 & k2
The condition can be portrayed as:

Now, from observing we get:
A.D>0
Also, from the case k1<α<k2
f(k1)>0 & f(k2)<0
And from the case k1<β<k2
f(k1)<0 & f(k2)>0
Thus, combining both of them, we get:
B.f(k1)f(k2)<0
