Consider the piecewise defined function $f(x) = \begin{cases} \sqrt{-x} & \text{if } x < 0 \\ 0 & \text{if } 0 \leqslant x \leqslant 4 \\ x - 4 & \text{if } x > 4 \end{cases}$. Choose the answer which best describes the continuity of this function.

  • A
    The function is unbounded and therefore cannot be continuous.
  • B
    The function is right continuous at $x = 0$.
  • C
    The function has a removable discontinuity at $0$ and $4$,but is continuous on the rest of the real line.
  • D
    The function is continuous on the entire real line.
