The answer is actually the last choice.

A function does not need to make sharp turns in order to be continuous.

For example, #f(x) =x# is continuous for every point in its domain; however, there are no sharp turns anywhere in a line.

Your answer is incorrect: the limit of the function must exist as #x->a#. If you said the third choice was correct, then the second choice must also be correct. Since the limit of the function as #x->a# is equal to the value of the function at #x=a#, the limit must exist. In other words, if #lim_(x->a) f(x) = f(a)#, then #lim_(x->a) f(x) # exists.
