Which of the following statements is true for the function $f(x) = \begin{cases} \sqrt{x} & x \ge 1 \\ x^3 & 0 \le x < 1 \\ \frac{x^3}{3} - 4x & x < 0 \end{cases}$

  • A
    It is monotonically increasing $\forall x \in R$.
  • B
    $f'(x)$ fails to exist for $2$ distinct real values of $x$.
  • C
    $f'(x)$ changes its sign twice as $x$ varies from $(-\infty, \infty)$.
  • D
    The function attains its extreme values at $x_1$ and $x_2$,such that $x_1, x_2 > 0$.
