It took me 10 seconds to solve this one!!
Solution:
As we are given equation and we need to substitute 32 & -32
But before solving such a tedious equation check out the equation, the equation has even root. This means that, irrespective of the sign of the number we are substituting we will get the same final answer in this case the number is 32.
Therefore, Qty A= Qty B
IMO C
Hope this helps!

\(f(x)=3x^4+5x^2+7\)
Since the function has only even powers of x so f(x) = f(-x) [As after squaring the negative sign will become positive]
So, Quantity A (f(32)) = Quantity B(f(-32))
So, answer will be C
Hope it helps!
