Correct answer: C

  1. We are given that lim⁡h→01hf(1+h)=5\lim_{h\to 0} \frac{1}{h}f(1+h)=5limh→0​h1​f(1+h)=5 and f(x)f(x)f(x) is differentiable at x=1x=1x=1.

  2. Since fff is differentiable at x=1x=1x=1, it is also continuous at x=1x=1x=1. So as h→0h\to 0h→0, f(1+h)→f(1).f(1+h) \to f(1).f(1+h)→f(1).

  3. Now analyze the limit lim⁡h→0f(1+h)h.\lim_{h\to 0} \frac{f(1+h)}{h}.limh→0​hf(1+h)​. For this limit to be finite, we must have f(1)=0,f(1)=0,f(1)=0, because if f(1)≠0f(1)\neq 0f(1)=0, then near h=0h=0h=0, f(1+h)≈f(1)f(1+h)\approx f(1)f(1+h)≈f(1) and so f(1+h)h\frac{f(1+h)}{h}hf(1+h)​ would blow up.

  4. Using f(1)=0f(1)=0f(1)=0, rewrite the given limit as lim⁡h→0f(1+h)−f(1)h=5.\lim_{h\to 0} \frac{f(1+h)-f(1)}{h}=5.limh→0​hf(1+h)−f(1)​=5.

  5. But this is exactly the definition of the derivative at x=1x=1x=1: f′(1)=lim⁡h→0f(1+h)−f(1)h.f'(1)=\lim_{h\to 0} \frac{f(1+h)-f(1)}{h}.f′(1)=limh→0​hf(1+h)−f(1)​.

  6. Therefore, f′(1)=5.f'(1)=5.f′(1)=5.

  7. Checking options:

    • A: 333 ❌
    • B: 444 ❌
    • C: 555 ✅
    • D: 666 ❌

So the correct answer is C.
