A real-valued univariate function f=f(x) has a jump discontinuity at a point
x_0 in its domain provided that


\lim \limits_(x\to x_0^-)f(x)=A_1

and


\lim \limits_(x\to x_0^+)f(x)=A_2

both exist and that
A_1\\eq A_2.

As you can see at x=-3,


\lim \limits_(x\to -3^-)f(x)=6,
\lim \limits_(x\to -3^+)f(x)=9 and
6\\eq 9.

Therefore, there is a jump discontinuity at x=-3.

Answer: correct choice is A.
