The correct answer is: $[-1,1]$
Given $f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{l}1+6 x-3 x^2, x \leq 1 \\ x+\log _z\left(b^2+7\right) x>1\end{array}\right.$
$\therefore \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})$ is maximum at $\mathrm{x}=1$
$\Rightarrow f(1)=4$ from $1+6 x-3 x^2$
low $f(x)=x+\log _2\left(b^2+7\right)$
$$
\begin{aligned}
& f(1)=1+\log _2\left(b^2+7\right) \\
& \Rightarrow 1+\log \left(b^2+7\right)=4 \\
& \Rightarrow b^2=1 \Rightarrow b \varepsilon[-1,1]
\end{aligned}
$$
