  • -1
  • -2
  • -3
Show Solution

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Check the Options
Test each option in $f'(x)\propto -x^{2}+x+6=-(x-3)(x+2)$.

Step 2: Zeros
The zeros are $x=3$ and $x=-2$. Of the options $0,-1,-2,-3$, only $-2$ is a zero.

Step 3: Conclusion
So $c=-2$, option (C).

Final Answer:
The point guaranteed by Rolle's theorem is $c=-2$. \[ \boxed{\text{(C) }-2} \]
