It is known that there is a rational number between any two distinct irrational numbers. Consider a continuous function f : R → R such that f (x) = sin x for every rational number r. If x is an irrational number then, A. f(r) = sin(;)+ cos(;) B. f(x) = sinz + COSI C. f(x) Cos z = COS x D. f(x) = sin x

The question is attached in the image. The question is fairly simple please provide a proof as well as an intuition which could help to solve such problems quickly. Thank you. 

(PS: how do i quickly realize that options other than,than f(x)= sinx, will not be continuous?)
