Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Recall property of odd - function

For an odd - function (y = f(x)), if ((x,y)) is on the graph, then ((-x,-y)) is also on the graph. Points in Quadrant I have (x>0) and (y > 0), and points in Quadrant II have (x<0) and (y>0).

Step2: Analyze the relationship between Quadrant I and Quadrant III points

If a point ((x,y)) with (x>0,y > 0) (in Quadrant I) is on the graph of an odd - function, then the point ((-x,-y)) (in Quadrant III) is also on the graph.

Step3: Determine the number of points in Quadrant II

The total number of points on the graph of (f(x)) is (n = 14), and the number of points in Quadrant I is (n_1=6). The points in Quadrant I will have corresponding points in Quadrant III due to the odd - function property. The remaining points (14 - 6\times2=14 - 12 = 2) can be in either Quadrant II or Quadrant IV or on the axes. So the greatest number of points that can lie in Quadrant II is (2).
