Dear Sanchit Gupta,

 

If f(x) = g(x), then h(x)=f(x), and h(x) is differentiable at x= xo.

So options (b) and (d) are wrong.

Let f(x) and g(x) be to different.

Consider f(x) = g(x) at x = xo, then

h(x) is not differentiable at xo, since it will have a sharp edge at that point.

Hence option (a) is also wrong.

If f(xo) ≠ g(xo), then h(x) is differentiable at xo, provided both f(x) and g(x) are differentiable at xo, which is given.

Hence option (c) is correct.
