Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Clearly, 
changes its sign at 
from positive to negative and so 
has local maxima at 
.
Also, 
does not exist but 
and 
. It can only inferred that 
has a possibility of minimum at 
.
Hence, it has one local maxima at 
and one local minima at 
.
