To find the solution set for f(x) = 0, we need to solve the quadratic equation x^2 + 60 = 0.

Subtracting 60 from both sides of the equation, we get x^2 = -60.

Taking the square root of both sides, we get x = ±√(-60).

Since the square root of a negative number is not a real number, there are no real solutions to the equation x^2 + 60 = 0.

Therefore, the solution set for f(x) = 0 is the empty set {}.

None of the given answer choices include the empty set, so the correct answer is none of the above.
