Final answer:

Without the specific function or context, determining the relative maximum and minimum points is not possible. These points are typically found using techniques such as derivative tests to analyze where the function's rate of change peaks or bottoms out.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question seems fragmented and does not provide enough context to determine the relative maximum and minimum points of a function directly. The relative maximum and minimum of a function refer to the highest and lowest points, respectively, within a specific interval of the function's domain.

To identify a relative maximum, you look for a point where the function changes from increasing to decreasing. Conversely, a relative minimum is identified by a point where the function changes from decreasing to increasing. To determine these points, one would typically analyze the function's derivative, studying where it equals zero or is undefined, and apply the First or Second Derivative Test. Without the specific function or additional information, we cannot accurately select between the provided options a), b), c), or d).
