    Answer: Non of the option.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The given equation is

    4x^3 - 6x^2 + 15x + 2 = 0

    Let's test 1, if it's one of the root. I. e

    If x = 1

    4 - 6 + 15 + 2 = 15

    Positive 1 is not a root to the equation

    If x = - 1

    -4 - 6 - 15 + 2 = - 23

    Negative 1 is not a root

    If x = 2

    4x8 - 6*4 + 15*4 + 2

    32 - 24 + 30 + 2 = 40

    Positive 2 is not a root

    If x = - 2

    4 * (-8) - 6*4 - 15*2 + 2

    -32 - 24 - 30 + 2 = - 84

    Negative 2 is not a root

    If x = 3

    4*27 - 6*9 + 15*3 + 2

    108 - 54 + 45 + 2 = 101

    Since non of them tend to zero, non of the option is a root of the equation
