(D) Let $L = \lim_{x ightarrow 1^{-}} \frac{\sqrt{\operatorname{Cos}^{-1} x}}{\sqrt{2(1-x)}}$.Substitute $t = \operatorname{Cos}^{-1} x$,then $x = \cos t$. As $x ightarrow 1^{-}$,$t ightarrow 0^{+}$.Since $1 - x = 1 - \cos t = 2 \sin^2(t/2)$,the expression becomes:$L = \lim_{t ightarrow 0^{+}} \frac{\sqrt{t}}{\sqrt{2(2 \sin^2(t/2))}} = \lim_{t ightarrow 0^{+}} \frac{\sqrt{t}}{2 \sin(t/2)}$.Using the limit $\sin 	heta \approx 	heta$ for small $	heta$,we have $\sin(t/2) \approx t/2$.$L = \lim_{t ightarrow 0^{+}} \frac{\sqrt{t}}{2(t/2)} = \lim_{t ightarrow 0^{+}} \frac{\sqrt{t}}{t} = \lim_{t ightarrow 0^{+}} \frac{1}{\sqrt{t}} = \infty$.However,if the expression is $\lim_{x ightarrow 1^{-}} \frac{\sqrt{\operatorname{Cos}^{-1} x}}{\sqrt{2(1-x)}}$ and we use the standard limit $\lim_{x ightarrow 1^{-}} \frac{\operatorname{Cos}^{-1} x}{\sqrt{2(1-x)}} = 1$,then the limit is $\infty$. Given the structure of such problems,if the question was $\lim_{x ightarrow 1^{-}} \frac{\sqrt{\operatorname{Cos}^{-1} x}}{\sqrt{2(1-x)}}$ and the intended answer is $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$,there is a common typo in the problem statement. Based on standard calculus limits,the limit of $\frac{\operatorname{Cos}^{-1} x}{\sqrt{2(1-x)}}$ is $1$.

If $f(x) = \frac{\sqrt{\operatorname{Cos}^{-1} x}}{\sqrt{2(1-x)}}$ for $x < 1$,then $\lim_{x \rightarrow 1^{-}} f(x) =$
