Let f(x)=tan⁡xf(x)=\tan x, and let f(n)(x)f^{(n)}(x) denote the nnth derivative of ff. Which of the following statements about f(n)(0)f^{(n)}(0) is correct for all positive integers nn? a) f(n)(0)=0f^{(n)}(0)=0 when nn is even and f(n)(0)≠0f^{(n)}(0)\neq 0 when nn is odd. b) f(n)(0)=0f^{(n)}(0)=0 when nn is odd and f(n)(0)≠0f^{(n)}(0)\neq 0 when nn is even. c) f(n)(0)=0f^{(n)}(0)=0 only when nn is a multiple of 44.},{ d) f(n)(0)≠0f^{(n)}(0)\neq 0 for every positive integer nn.}
