Which of the following conditions is sufficient to conclude that revolving a planar region about the x-axis will produce cross sections that are washers rather than solid disks? a) The region is bounded below by the xx-axis and above by a single non-negative function throughout the interval. b) Every vertical line through the region intersects two distinct boundary curves before meeting the xx-axis. c) Every horizontal line through the region intersects two distinct boundary curves before meeting the xx-axis. d) The region touches the xx-axis at least one point within the interval of revolution.
