The correct answer is: \( 1 \)

Given,

px=x4+ax3+bx2+cx+d

It is passing through 1,0

Hence, p1=0

a+b+c+d=0

It is passing through 0, 2. Hence, we get,

p0=2

 d=2

The product of all the roots of the bi-quadratic equation is given as,

a constant term/coefficient of x4=2

From the graph given, we can see that the real roots of px are given as,

x=1, 2 (as it intersects the real axis at 1, 0 and 2, 0)

Thus, the product of the real roots is 2.

Hence, the product of the imaginary roots can be given as,

Product of all the roots/Product of real roots.

=1
