Correct Answer:
The correct option is (A) - (II), (B) - (I), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III).

Explanation:
To determine the points of non-differentiability, we analyze the absolute value functions represented in List-I. An absolute value function of the form y=|g(x)| is typically continuous everywhere, but it is not differentiable at the points where the inner function g(x)=0 (resulting in sharp corners on the graph of the function).

Analysis of each function:

(A) f(x)=|x|:
The expression inside the absolute value is x.
Setting x=0, we find that the function has a sharp corner at x=0.
Thus, f(x) is not differentiable at x = 0 only.
Hence, (A) matches with (II).

(B) f(x)=|x+2|:
The expression inside the absolute value is x+2.
Setting x+2=0 gives:
x = 2
Thus, the function is not differentiable at x = -2 only.
Hence, (B) matches with (I).

(C) f(x)=|x24|:
The expression inside the absolute value is x24.
Setting x24=0 gives:
( x 2 ) ( x + 2 ) = 0 x = 2  or  x = 2
Thus, the function has sharp corners and is not differentiable at x = 2, -2 only.
Hence, (C) matches with (IV).

(D) f(x)=|x2|:
The expression inside the absolute value is x2.
Setting x2=0 gives:
x = 2
Thus, the function is not differentiable at x = 2 only.
Hence, (D) matches with (III).

Combining all the matches:
(A) → (II), (B) → (I), (C) → (IV), (D) → (III)
