11. Let f (x) E Z[x] with deg (f(x)) > 1. Let f'(x) be the polynomial in Zp,p € Z, obtained from f(x) by reducing all the coefficients of f(x) modulo p. Assume that deg (f(x)) = deg(f(x)), then: a) If f(x) is reducible over Zp, then f(x) is reducible over Q b) If f(x) is irreducible over Zp, then f(x) is irreducible over Q c) If f(x) is reducible over Q, then f(x) is irreducible over Z, d) None of the above
