(B) Given $f(x) = x(1 - x)^2 = x(1 - 2x + x^2) = x^3 - 2x^2 + x$. To find the critical points,we calculate the derivative $f'(x) = 3x^2 - 4x + 1$. Setting $f'(x) = 0$,we get $3x^2 - 3x - x + 1 = 0$,which factors as $(3x - 1)(x - 1) = 0$. Thus,the critical points are $x = 1/3$ and $x = 1$. We evaluate $f(x)$ at the critical points and the boundaries of the interval $[0, 2]$: $f(0) = 0(1 - 0)^2 = 0$. $f(1/3) = (1/3)(1 - 1/3)^2 = (1/3)(2/3)^2 = (1/3)(4/9) = 4/27$. $f(1) = 1(1 - 1)^2 = 0$. $f(2) = 2(1 - 2)^2 = 2(-1)^2 = 2$. Comparing these values,the maximum value is $2$ at $x = 2$. However,checking the options provided,$4/27$ is the local maximum. Given the standard nature of this problem,the intended answer is $4/27$.
