Good point. The derivative being zero means the slope is flat.

It's definitely A. A stationary point means the derivative is zero, making the tangent horizontal.

Yeah, I agree with A. But B and C seem plausible too. They talk about max and min values.

I think it's A. The tangent of the graph should be horizontal at a stationary point.
