It would be B.  "Regular" factoring without the quadratic formula can't be done.  Completing the square will work easily since the coefficient on the squared term is a 1.  I personally wouldn't graph this to find the solutions, although you could with and x/y chart to give you enough coordinates to plot the graph correctly.
