A polynomial pp has degree 66 and leading coefficient 11. For every real tt,

∫t−1t+1p(x) dx≥0,\int_{t-1}^{t+1}p(x)\,dx\geq0,

with equality if and only if t=−2t=-2 or t=2t=2.

Which one of the following describes all the possible values of p(1)−p(0)p(1)-p(0)?

Ap(1)−p(0)<55p(1)-p(0)<55
Bp(1)−p(0)<4999p(1)-p(0)<\dfrac{499}{9}
Cp(1)−p(0)≤27p(1)-p(0)\le27
Dp(1)−p(0)≤4999p(1)-p(0)\le\dfrac{499}{9}
Ep(1)−p(0)≤55p(1)-p(0)\le55
