Which of the following is the fourth-degree Taylor Polynomial for  f(x)=xsin⁡xf\left(x\right)=x\sin x  about  x=0x=0  .

 P4(x)=x−16x3+15!x5−17!x7P_4\left(x\right)=x-\frac{1}{6}x^3+\frac{1}{5!}x^5-\frac{1}{7!}x^7  

 P4(x)=−x2+16x4P_4\left(x\right)=-x^2+\frac{1}{6}x^4  

 P4(x)=x2−16x4P_4\left(x\right)=x^2-\frac{1}{6}x^4  

 P4(x)=2x2−4x4P_4\left(x\right)=2x^2-4x^4
