You are coding a math utility by using Python. You are writing a function to compute roots. The function must meet the following requirements:
- If a is non-negative, return a ** (1 / b)
- If a is negative and even, return 'Result is an imaginary number'
- If a is negative and odd, return -(a) ** (1 / b)
Which of the following functions meets the requirements?

Question

Accepted Answer

B. ```python
def safe_root(a, b):
 if a >= 0:
 answer = a ** (1 / b)
 elif a % 2 == 0:
 answer = 'Result is an imaginary number'
 else:
 answer = -(a) ** (1 / b)
 return answer
```

Answer

A. ```python
def safe_root(a, b):
 if a >= 0:
 answer = a ** (1 / b)
 elif a % 2 == 0:
 answer = 'Result is an imaginary number'
 else:
 answer = -(-a) ** (1 / b)
 return answer
```

Answer

C. ```python
def safe_root(a, b):
 if a % 2 == 0:
 answer = a ** (1 / b)
 elif a >= 0:
 answer = 'Result is an imaginary number'
 else:
 answer = -(-a) ** (1 / b)
 return answer
```

Answer

D. ```python
def safe_root(a, b):
 if a >= 0:
 answer = -(a) ** (1 / b)
 elif a % 2 == 0:
 answer = 'Result is an imaginary number'
 else:
 answer = a ** (1 / b)
 return answer
```
