Answer
Please see attached image for full understanding of the solution
If we plot the function we can see that it has a discontinuity at x = 1.
Also,
If we evaluate at x = -9, we see that the values of the piecewise function in both cases are completely different.
Therefore, x = -9 is also a discontinuity.
The right answer is option a
(discontinuity at x = 1 and x = -9)
