Immersion is not submersion

Let $f : R^{2} \to R^{3}$ be a differentiable function such that (Df)(0,0) has rank 2. Write $f = (f_{1}, f_{2}, f_{3})$ . Which of the following statements are necessarily true?

A.f is injective in a neighbourhood of (0, 0)✓
B.There exists an open neighbourhood U of (0, 0) in $R^{2}$ such that $f_{3}$ is a function of $f_{1}$ and $f_{2}$
C.f maps an open neighbourhood of (0, 0) in $R^{2}$ onto an open subset of $R^{3}$
D.(0, 0) is an isolated point of f⁻ $^{1} ($ {f(0,0)})✓

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