  • B
    $1/2$
  • $1$
  • D

(c) Multiply function by $\frac{{{{(1 + x)}^{1/2}} + {{(1 - x)}^{1/2}}}}{{{{(1 + x)}^{1/2}} + {{(1 - x)}^{1/2}}}}$ and solve.

Aliter : Apply  $ L-$ Hospital’s rule,

$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} \,\frac{{{{(1 + x)}^{1/2}} - {{(1 - x)}^{1/2}}}}{x} = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} \,\frac{1}{{2\sqrt {1 + x} }} + \frac{1}{{2\sqrt {1 - x} }} = 1$.
