2019 AMC 12A Problem 14

The factors $x^2 - 2x + 2$ and $x^2 - 4x + 8$ have roots $1 \pm i$ and $2 \pm 2i,$ which are $4$ distinct values. For $P$ to have exactly $4$ distinct roots, the roots of $x^2 - cx + 4$ must lie among these. Their product must equal $4,$ and the only such pair is one root from each factor, for example $(1 + i)(2 - 2i) = 4.$ Then $c = (1 + i) + (2 - 2i) = 3 - i,$ so $|c| = \sqrt{3^2 + 1^2} = \sqrt{10}.$ Thus, the correct answer is E.
