For a polynomial $g(x)$ with real coefficients,let $m_g$ denote the number of distinct real roots of $g(x)$. Suppose $S$ is the set of polynomials with real coefficients defined by $S = \{(x^2-1)^2(a_0+a_1x+a_2x^2+a_3x^3) : a_0, a_1, a_2, a_3 \in \mathbb{R}\}$. For a polynomial $f$,let $f'$ and $f''$ denote its first and second order derivatives,respectively. Then the minimum possible value of $(m_f + m_{f'})$,where $f \in S$,is

  • A
    $5$
  • B
    $8$
  • C
    $9$
  • D
    $10$
