Let $f: D \rightarrow R$ where $D=[0,1] \cup [2,4]$ be defined by $f(x)=\begin{cases} x, & \text{if } x \in [0,1] \\ 4-x, & \text{if } x \in [2,4] \end{cases}$. Then,

  • A
    Rolle's theorem is applicable to $f$ in $D$
  • B
    Rolle's theorem is not applicable to $f$ in $D$
  • C
    there exists $\xi \in D$ for which $f^{\prime}(\xi)=0$ but Rolle's theorem is not applicable
  • D
