Let $f : R \rightarrow R$ be defined as $f(x) = 3^{-|x|} - 3^x + \operatorname{sgn}(e^{-x}) + 2$ (where $\operatorname{sgn}(x)$ denotes the signum function of $x$). Then which one of the following is correct?

  • A
    $f$ is injective but not surjective
  • B
    $f$ is surjective but not injective
  • C
    $f$ is injective as well as surjective
  • D
