I'm gonna have to go with Option A. It's the only one that really makes sense in terms of the definition of a stationary point. Unless, of course, the correct answer is 'None of the above' - that's always a classic!

Option B? More like Option 'C' for 'Clueless'! The stationary point has nothing to do with the maximum value of the function.

D sounds like a good option, but I'm not sure if it fully captures the essence of a stationary point. I'd guess A or C would be the best answers.

I'm leaning towards C actually. I think it's where the minimum value of the function is found.

I think A is the correct answer. It makes sense that a stationary point would have a horizontal tangent.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm torn between A and C, but I'll go with A since it seems more precise in describing the nature of a stationary point.

I think Option C is the right answer. The stationary point is where the function has a local minimum.

Actually, Clarence, a stationary point can be a minimum, maximum, or a point of inflection, so it could be A) or C).

I agree with Vivienne, because at a stationary point, the derivative of the function is zero.

Option A sounds correct. The stationary point is where the derivative of the function is zero, and the tangent line is horizontal at that point.

Actually, it's not the minimum value, but where the function stops increasing or decreasing.
