Let $f(x) = \begin{cases} x^3 - x^2 + 10x - 5, & x \le 1 \\ -2x + \log_2(b^2 - 2), & x > 1 \end{cases}$. The set of values of $b$ for which $f(x)$ has the greatest value at $x = 1$ is given by:

  • A
    $1 \le b \le 2$
  • B
    $b = \{1, 2\}$
  • C
    $b \in (-\infty, -1)$
  • D
    $[-\sqrt{130}, -\sqrt{2}) \cup (\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{130}]$
