Let a 1 a_1 , a 2 a_2 , ... a n a_n , k k , and M M be positive integers such that 1 a 1 + 1 a 2 + + 1 a n = k and a 1 a 2 a n = M \frac{1}{a_1}+\frac{1}{a_2}+\cdots+\frac{1}{a_n}=k\quad\text{and}\quad a_1a_2\cdots a_n=M If M > 1 M>1 , and P ( x ) = M ( x + 1 ) k ( x + a 1 ) ( x + a 2 ) ( x + a n ) P(x)=M(x+1)^k-(x+a_1)(x+a_2)\cdots (x+a_n) , then which of the following is true

P ( x ) P(x) has no positive roots P ( x ) P(x) has exactly one negative root P ( x ) P(x) has exactly one positive root P ( x ) P(x) has no negative roots
