I. f(4) > 0
It means a part of the curve is above the x axis at x = 4. But, No info whether
a) the curve is above the x axis
or
b) intersect it in more points.
So, NOT SUFFICIENT.
II. a < 0
It means the parabola, extends downwards but 2 cases are possible.
a) it can intersects
or
b) does not intersect the x axis.
So, NOT SUFFICIENT.
Combing Statement 1 & 2, We get a part of the curve is above the x axis and it extends downwards.
So, It must intersects the x axis.
Hence SUFFICIENT
So, Answer is C
II. a < 0
