Detailed Solution

Given that a fourth degree polynomial is divided by a quadratic polynomial.
Division algorithm is given by f(x)=g(x)q(x)r(x),   where f(x)   is the dividend, g(x)   is the divisor, q(x)   is the quotient and r(x)   is the remainder.
Let  the fourth degree polynomial be f x =a x 4 +b x 3 +c x 2 +dx+e   and the quadratic polynomial be g(x)= x 2 +mx+n  .
Therefore, degree of quotient q(x)   is 42=2  
Let the remainder be r x  .
By remainder theorem,
f(x)=g(x)q(x)+r(x) r(x)=f(x)g(x)q(x)   Here, possible values of degree of r x   are 1, when the remainder is a linear expression or 0, when the remainder is a constant or 0.
Therefore, degree of r x   will be 1 or 0.
Hence the correct option is 1.
