  4. D 4
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since the equation \(4 x^2+h x y+y^2=0\) represents the coincident lines, then \[ \begin{aligned} \left(\frac{h}{2}\right)^2-4 & \times 1=0 \\ \Rightarrow h & =-4,4 \end{aligned} \] Hence, option (4) is correct.
