(d) Both (a) and (c)
Let f(x) = ax4 + bx4 + cx2 + dx + e be the given polynomial.
Then, (x2 – 1) is a factor of f(x).
⇒ (x – 1) (x + 1) is a factor of f(x)
⇒ (x – 1) and (x + 1) are factors of f(x)
⇒ f(1) = 0 and f(–1) = 0
⇒ a + b + c + d + e = 0 and a – b + c – d + e = 0.
Adding and subtracting the two equations, we get
2(a + c + e) = 0 and 2(b + d) = 0
⇒ a + c + e = 0 and b + d = 0.
