I really need help with my homework. Thank you!

Below is the graph of f ′(x), the derivative of f(x), and has x-intercepts at x = -3, x = 1 and x = 2. There are horizontal tangents at x = -1.5 and x = 1.5. Which of the following statements is true?

Graph of a function that increases from negative infinity to x equals negative 1.5, decreases from x equals negative 1.5 to x equals 1.5, crossing the y axis at y equals 6, and increases from x equals 1.5 to positive infinity with x intercepts at x equals negative 3, 1 and 2.Options:

1)  f has a relative minimum at x = 1.5.

2)  f has a relative maximum at x = -1.5.

3)  f is decreasing on the interval from x = 1 to x = 2.

4)  None of these is true.
