"A concave function is quasiconcave. A convex function is quasiconvex."

"The converse of this result is not true: a quasiconcave function may not be concave"

Thanks for replying Ankit.

I understand that convexity implies quasiconvexity, and not the other way round.
I'm asking whether or not  is convex. If it is convex, (according to me it is), then option (c) should be correct too, right?
