B. There are no $x$-intercepts.
Answer
\(\boxed{\text{The } x\text{-intercept of } f(x) \text{ is at } x=0.}\)
Step 1 ：The function $f(x)=2 x e^{-0.5 x}$ is defined for all real numbers. Therefore, the domain is all real x.
Step 2 ：The x-intercepts of a function are the points where the graph of the function crosses the x-axis. This happens when the function's value is zero. So, we need to solve the equation $f(x)=0$ to find the x-intercepts.
Step 3 ：Solving the equation $f(x)=0$ gives $x=0$. Therefore, the x-intercept of the function is at $x=0$.
Step 4 ：\(\boxed{\text{The domain of } f(x) \text{ is all real } x.}\)
Step 5 ：\(\boxed{\text{The } x\text{-intercept of } f(x) \text{ is at } x=0.}\)
