Answer:

B and C

Explanation:

Minimum and Maximum points occur when the gradient of the function is equal to 0. Graphically this looks like a bend such that the function dips from decreasing to increasing (the gradient goes form being negative to positive) and vice versa.

A minimum point occurs where all the nearby values are higher than that of the point in question.

A maximum point occurs where all the nearby points are lower than the point in question.

By looking at the graph, there is a maximum point around (4.5, 1.5) which is consistent with B but not A (since A talks about a minimum point)

By looking at the graph, there is a minimum point around (0.5, 1.5) which is consistent with C.

I've highlighted areas of interest below so hopefully that's helpful :>
