Haha, I bet the answer is B. After all, who doesn't love a good maximum value? That's the real goal of any function, right?

I'm pretty sure it's D. That's when the values become more stable.

I agree with Alpha. A) makes sense because the tangent is horizontal at a stationary point.

Hmm, I'm not sure. It could be C, where the function reaches its minimum value, but I'll need to think this through more carefully.
