x = 1 is a root by observation, which is a rational root.

Since all coefficients will be rational so irrational root can't occur alone, hence other root will also be rational.

\therefore Option (C)

 

Nature of Rational roots -

If   P\left ( x \right )= 0  is a polynomial equation with rational coefficients then irrational roots always occur in conjugate pair.

- wherein

Sometimes one root is observed by observation and with this concept nature of other root can be decided.
