Given $P(x) = x^4 + ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d$ such that $x=0$ is the only real root of $P'(x) = 0$. If $P(-1) < P(1)$,then in the interval $[-1, 1]$:

  • A
    $P(-1)$ is the minimum but $P(1)$ is the maximum of $P$.
  • B
    $P(-1)$ is not the minimum but $P(1)$ is the maximum of $P$.
  • C
    $P(-1)$ is the minimum but $P(1)$ is not the maximum of $P$.
  • D
    $P(-1)$ is not the minimum and $P(1)$ is not the maximum of $P$.
