B) $x$-intercepts: $0 , - 3 ; y$-intercept: 3
C) $x$-intercepts: $0 , \sqrt { 3 } , - \sqrt { 3 } ; y$-intercept: 0
D) $x$-intercepts: $0 , - 3$; $y$-intercept: 0

To find the x-intercepts, set $f(x) = 0$: $0 = 3x - x^3$. Factoring out $x$, we get $x(3 - x^2) = 0$, which gives $x = 0$, $x = \sqrt{3}$, and $x = -\sqrt{3}$. For the y-intercept, set $x = 0$: $f(0) = 3(0) - (0)^3 = 0$.
