Solution

The correct option is B $x = - 4$
There is no maximum value for this function, as the value keeps on increasing if we either go to left or right of $x = 4$ .
The farther away we go from $x = 4$ , the more the value of the function.
From the given options the maximum value is at $x = - 4$
Hence, D is correct.
