Provide an appropriate response.Consider this graph.Determine which points on the graph are critical points and describe why each of the points is a critical point.

A. The points on the function at x = a, b, d, and e are critical points, because the derivative is zero at each of these points.
B. The points on the function at x = a, b, d, and e are critical points, because at x = a the first derivative does not exist and at x = b, d, and e the derivative is zero.
C. The only critical points are those at x = b, d, and e, because the derivative is zero only at these points.
D. Since the point at x = a is the only one for which the first derivative does not exist, this is the only critical point.
