Correct answer: (A) f is continuous but need not be analytic.
Explanation
The map z↦z/|z| is continuous away from zero. Composing it with the continuous circle restriction proves f is continuous there. It may vary with direction; for example f(z) = z/|z| satisfies the conditions but is nonconstant, nonanalytic and has no limit at zero. Hence A.
