Answer:

(b) see below

Explanation:

A removable discontinuity exists when the function is undefined at a point where the limit exists.

Choices A, C, D have no limit at x=7 (does not exist).

__

Choice B can be simplified to ...

f(x) = (x -3)(x -7)/(x -7)

f(x) = (x -3) . . . . . . . x ≠ 7 (domain restriction; undefined at x = 7)

The discontinuity in this function can be removed by defining the function to be f(x) = x-3 everywhere.
