The correct answer is option D. ([tex]f[/tex] is defined at [tex]x = 2[/tex])

The rational Function is continuous at a given value if its Denominator is not zero. In this exercise, we proceed to Factor the expression by check the value Denominator for each value of [tex]x[/tex].

[tex]f(x) = \frac{x^{2}-x-6}{x^{2}-9}[/tex]

[tex]f(x) = \frac{(x-3)\cdot (x+2)}{(x+3)\cdot (x-3)}[/tex]

As we can see, [tex]f[/tex] is not defined for [tex]x = -3[/tex] and [tex]x = 3[/tex]. Hence, we conclude that right answer is D.
