(b) converge conditionally?

A) (a) on the interval (-2, -1) , $~~~~~~~~$ (b) at x = -2 and x = -1
B) (a) on the interval [-2, -1] $~~~~~~~~$ (b) nowhere
C) (a) on the interval (-2, -1) , $~~~~~~~~$ (b) for x < -2
D) (a) on the interval (-3, 0) , $~~~~~~~~$ (b) at x = -3 and x = 0
E) (a) on the interval [-2, -1) , $~~~~~~~~$ (b) at x = -1
