Correct answer
B8

Step-by-step explanation

$\begin{aligned} & f(x)=[x]+|x-2|,-2 < x < 3 \\ & \therefore f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{l} -x,-2 < x < -1 \\ 1-x,-1 \leq x < 0 \\ 2-x, 0 \leq x < 1 \\ 3-x, 1 \leq x < 2 \\ x, 2 \leq x < 3 \end{array}\right. \end{aligned}$
It is clearly discontinues at 4 points and nondifferentiable at 4 points.
