**12.** Sketch the interval \( (a, b) \) on the x-axis with the point \( c \) inside. Then find the largest value of \(\delta > 0\) such that for all \( x \), \( 0 < |x - c| < \delta \) implies \( a < x < b \).

\[ a = \frac{1}{3}, \, b = \frac{5}{9}, \, c = \frac{1}{2} \]

Choose the correct sketch below.

**Option A:**
- Number line from 0 to 1.
- Interval starts at \(1/3\) and ends at \(5/9\), inclusive (\(<-|\text{ }|->\)).
- Point \(0\) at the start, and point \(1\) at the end.

**Option C:**
- Number line from 0 to 1.
- Interval starts at \(1/3\) and ends at \(5/9\), inclusive (\(<-|\text{ }|->\)), with a point at \(1/2\).
- Labels for 0, \(1/3\), \(1/2\), \(5/9\), and 1.

The largest possible value for \(\delta\) is \(\boxed{\frac{1}{6}}\). (Type a simplified fraction.)
