  1. If x > y

  2. If x ≥ y

  3. If x < y

  4. If x ≤ y

  5. If x = y or relationship can not be established

C Correct answer
Explanation

Solving equation (I): 5x² + 8x + 3 = 0 gives x = -0.6 or x = -1. Solving equation (II): 16y² - 40y + 25 = 0 factors as (4y-5)² = 0, giving y = 1.25 (repeated root). Both x values are less than y, so x < y.
