Your answer "b" is CORRECT.
"Local Extremum" and "Relative Extremum" are the same.

Yes, the correct answer is b. A local max/min is a point on a graph that is the highest or lowest point in a specific interval, while a relative max/min is a point on a graph that is the highest or lowest point in the entire function.
