Solution

The correct option is A 1
f(x)=(4+y2)x2+(2y)x+1
Here the coefficient of x2 is 4+y2 which is always positive.
Thus y=f(x) is a quadratic curve opened upwards.

The minimum value of the curve y=ax2+bx+c,a>0 is 4acb24a
Minimum value of f(x)=(4+y2)x2+(2y)x+1 is
g(y)=4(4+y2)4y24(4+y2)=44+y2

So, g(y)=44+y2(0,1], yR
Hence, the maximum value of g(y) is 1.
