  1. A \(>0\)
  2. B 0
  3. C \(\geq 0\)
  4. D \( < 0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 0

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since, \(f(x)\) is an even function, therefore \(f^{\prime}(x)\) is an odd function.
\[
f^{\prime}(-e)=-f^{\prime}(e)
\]
\(\therefore \quad \mathrm{f}^{\prime}(\mathrm{e})+\mathrm{f}^{\prime}(-\mathrm{e})=0\)
