Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find 2 roots of the quadratic function given and find the greater of the two roots.

We factorize the quadratic and find the two solutions first:

[tex]x^2-6x+5=0\\(x-5)(x-1)=0\\x=1,5[/tex]

So,

x = 1

and

x= 5

Out of the two, x = 5 is the greater root.

D is the correct answer.
