The correct answer is: differentiable and the derivative is continuous

Given function 



fx=sinx2x, x00, if x=0



then limx0fx=limx0sinx2x=limx0



xsinx2x2=0=f0



Hence, fx is continuous at x=0



Now, for differentiability 



RHD (at x=0)



=limh0f0+h-f0h=limh0sinh2h2=1



and LHD (at x=0)



=limh0f0-h-f0-h=limh0sinh2h2=1



So, fx is differentiable at x=0



 f'x=2cosx2-sinx2x2, if x01, if x=0



limx0f'x=limx02cosx2-sinx2x2



=2-1=1



limx0f'x=f'0



So, fx is differentiable and the derivative is continuous.
