Need help with a problem

Capture

i. Factorise the first two terms.
x(x-1) => Odd x Even (since x and x-1 are consecutive integers) => Even

ii. Simplify using the third term.
Even - 1 => Odd

Follow the same for other options. Try to assume what would be the result if x was even/odd, and for all assumptions the answer should result in an even number
