Regula falsi maintains two endpoints a,b with opposite signs of f, ensuring a root between them by continuity. It uses the secant’s intersection with the axis and replaces one endpoint while preserving this bracket. Newton, ordinary secant and fixed-point iterations do not require a sign-changing initial bracket. Thus B.
