Given the roots,

[tex]1,2i,i[/tex]

To have a polynomial with real coefficients, the complex conjugates of 2i and i must be roots of the polynomial as well

The conjugate of 2i is -2i while the conjugate of i is -i

The roots of the polynomial will be

[tex]1,2i,-2i,i,-i[/tex]

The factors of the polynomial will be

[tex](x-1),(x-2i),(x+2i),(x-i),(x+i)[/tex]

The factored form of the polynomial will be

[tex]\begin{gathered} f(x)=(x-1)(x-2i)(x+2i)(x-i)(x+i) \\ f(x)=(x^2+1)(x^2+4)(x-1) \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, answer is option A
