### Problem Statement
a. Find the open intervals on which the function shown in the graph is increasing and decreasing.  
b. Identify the function's local and absolute extreme values, if any, saying where they occur.

### Graph Description
The graph depicts a function \( y = f(x) \) with the x-axis ranging approximately from \(-15\) to \(15\) and the y-axis from \(-10\) to \(15\). Key points of observation are:

- The graph is decreasing from \( x \approx -15 \) to \( x = -10 \).
- It increases from \( x = -10 \) to \( x = -5 \).
- It decreases again from \( x = -5 \) to \( x = 5 \).
- It increases from \( x = 5 \) to \( x = 10 \).
- It has another increase from \( x = 10 \) to beyond \( x = 15 \).

### Question a
On what open interval(s), if any, is the function increasing? Select the correct choice below and fill in any answer boxes within your choice.

- **A.** [Input box for interval]
  
  (Type your answer in interval notation. Use integers or fractions for any numbers in the expression. Use a comma to separate answers as needed.)

- **B.** The function is never increasing.

### Instructions
- Review the graph to identify intervals where the function is increasing.
- Enter the intervals in interval notation within the provided answer box if option A is chosen.
