Solution

The correct option is A f is continuous function
Now
limx0f(x)=0.
Since,
xsin1x|x|,xR [ since sin1x1].
So limx0f(x)=0=f(0). [ By Sandwich theorem]
Hence the function is continuous at x=0.

Again,
f(0)
=limx0f(x)f(0)x0
=limx0sin1x.
This limit doesn't exist. By sequential criterion it can be shown that
limx0sin1x doesn't exist.
