Explanation:

the question should be : "which describes a POSSIBLE domain and range definition of the function and is inverse ?"

because this is just a matter of definition. the function itself would not suggest any limits.

and in that regard the function definition is basically irrelevant.

the domain of any basic function is the range of the inverse, and the range of the basic function is the domain of the inverse.

so, the second set of definitions is not possible, if we are really trying to define the inverse function.
