If a continuous function f defined on th...

If a continuous function `f` defined on the real line R assume positive and negative values in R, then the equation `f(x)=0` has a root in R. For example, if it is known that a continuous function `f` on R is positive at some point and its minimum value is negative, then the equation `f(x)=0` has a root in R. Consider `f(x)= ke^(x)-x`, for all real x where k is a real constant.
The positive value of k for which `ke^(x)-x=0` has only one root is

A

No point

B

One point

C

Two points

D

More than two points
