Please provide a formal mathematical proof for both the statements and answer the following question. Thank you. 

37. Suppose that a and b are two consecutive roots of a polynomial function f, with a < b.
Suppose a and b are non-repeated roots. Consequently, f(x) = (x – a)(x – b)g(x) for
some polynomial function g. Consider the statements:
(I) g(a) and g(b) have opposite signs
(II) f'(x) = 0 for some r € (a, b)
Of these statements,
A. Both I and II are true
B. Only I is true
C. Only II is true
D. Both I and II are false
