Correct answer: (B) Eigenvalue1 has algebraic multiplicity3.
Explanation
The minimal polynomial already has degree4, equal to the matrix size, and divides the characteristic polynomial, so they coincide. Both eigenvalues therefore have algebraic multiplicity2, making B false. Trace=2(1)+2(3)=8. Repeated factors in the minimal polynomial prevent diagonalizability.
