B) A Quadratic equation in one variable always gives two unique value of x.==> can have x as same values as ==> X^2 -4 = 0 , where x have { 2,2 } values
C) Even ^N is always EVEN, Where N is an integer ==> when n is Zero ==False
D) Odd ^ N is can never be EVEN, Where N is an integer ==> True for all values of N as Odd * Odd is always ODD , True for N = 0 as well , as 3^0 = 1 which is ODD

E. |x| is always positive.

Correct option D says \((ODD)^N\) can never be EVEN, where N is an integer. Not even, does not mean odd.
