A fractional growth rate rounds to an integer both times

Let \ {0} be a non-zero holomorphic function such that |f(z)| ≤ |z|^(5/2) + 1/|z| \ {0}. Which of the following statements are true?

  1. A.f has a pole at z = 0.
  2. B.There is an entire function g such that f = g on \ {0}.
  3. C.f is a polynomial of degree at most 2.
  4. D.f has an essential singularity at z = 0.

You have the answer. Trap Analysis is why the other three were written.

Not a worked solution repeated four times — the specific reasoning error each wrong option was built to reward.
