**Function Definition and Problem Statement:**

Consider the function \( f : \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{N} \) defined by:

\[
f = \begin{cases} 
n^2 & \text{if } n \text{ is odd} \\
2n + 1 & \text{if } n \text{ is even} 
\end{cases}
\]

**Tasks:**

A. Find \( f(A) \) if \( A = \{0, 1, 2, 3\} \).

B. Find \( f^{-1}(B) \) if \( B = \{1, 4, 9\} \).

C. Determine whether \( f \) is injective or not. Justify your answer.

D. Determine whether \( f \) is surjective or not. Justify your answer.
