The correct answer is: Independent of $p$
$f^{\prime \prime \prime}(x)=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{d^3}{d x^3} x^3 & \frac{d^3}{d x^3} \sin x & \frac{d^3}{d x^3} \cos x \\ 6 & -1 & 0 \\ p & p^2 & p^3\end{array}\right|=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}6 & -\cos x & \sin x \\ 6 & -1 & 0 \\ p & p^2 & p^3\end{array}\right|$
$\therefore f^{\prime \prime \prime}(0)=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}6 & -1 & 0 \\ 6 & -1 & 0 \\ p & p^2 & p^3\end{array}\right|=0$, which is independent of p.
