Are you sure the domain of is limited to ? (It looks as though it might really be (?) )
I ask because for none of the answers work because they all have values of outside [0,2].

If the domain is then (a) works.
First lets factor out a

= (*)
(*) is zero if or

(a)
so (*) is zero
so again (*) goes to zero.

(b) does not work because (*) is not zero for or
(c) does not work because (*) is not zero for ( it is zero only for )
