The ramp region shrinks but never disappears only an interval with a fixed gap from 0 can outrun it

For each positive integer n, let fn:[1,1]Rf_{n}:[-1,1]\to\mathbb{R} be given by fn(x)=1f_{n}(x)=-1 if 1x1/n,fn(x)=-1\le{}x\le-1/n, f_{n}(x)=nx if −1/n<x<1/n, and fn(x)=1f_{n}(x)=1 if 1/n≤x≤1. On which of the following intervals does the sequence {fnf_{n}}n1_{n}\ge1 converge uniformly?

  1. A.[0,1]
  2. B.(0,1]
  3. C.(10⁻2025,1)^{2025},1)
  4. D.(−10⁻2025,10^{2025},102025]^{2025}]

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.
