A scuba diver and his crew on deck spot some dolphins jumping in and out of the water as they swim through the ocean. Let the function $D (x) = x^{4} - 38 x^{3} + 519 x^{2} - 3002 x + 6160$ represent the path that the dolphins travel, where x represents the time since the start of travel and y represents the dolphins' distance above and below the surface of water. The scuba diver and his crew monitored the dolphins for a 20 second interval. At what times (in seconds) during this 20 second interval were the dolphins at the surface level? (Hint: Look for when x equals zero.)

0 and 10 seconds

4 and 9 seconds

3, 7, and 11 seconds

5, 8, 11, and 14 seconds
