The answer is the first one (or A): bioengineering.

Explanation for each option: a. Bioengineering - Correct. Organic foods are not produced using bioengineering (genetic modification). This is a key criterion for organic certification. b. Greenhouses - Incorrect. Organic foods can be grown in greenhouses as long as the other organic standards are met. c. Carbon-containing compounds - Incorrect. Organic foods can contain carbon-containing compounds, as these are naturally occurring in all living organisms. d. Ultraviolet light - Incorrect. Ultraviolet light is not typically restricted in organic farming practices. e. Distilled water - Incorrect. The use of distilled water is not prohibited in organic farming.

Summary: Organic foods are produced without the use of most conventional pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, ionizing radiation, or bioengineering.

Analyze the polynomial function f(x)=(x+5)^2(x-6)^2 using parts (a) through (h) below. (b) Find the x-and y-intercepts of the graph of the function. The x-intercept(s) is/are -5,6. The y-intercept(s) is/are 900. (c) Determine the real zeros of the function and their multiplicity. Use this information to determine whether the graph crosses or touches the x-axis at each x-intercept. The real zero(s) of f is/are -5,6. The lesser zero is a zero of multiplicity 2, so the graph of f touches the x-axis at x=-5. The greater zero is a zero of multiplicity 2, so the graph of f touches the x-axis at x=6. (d) Use a graphing utility to graph the function. The graphs are shown in the viewing window Xmin=-14, Xmax=14, Xscl=2, Ymin=-1200, Ymax=1200, Yscl=120 Choose the correct graph below. A. B. C. D. (e) Approximate the turning points of the graph. The turning point(s) of the graph is/are
