{c}

The <derivative> of $h(x)=f(x)-\sin x$ vanishes. By the <constancy theorem> on the <interval> $I$,
$$
\boxed{f(x)=\sin x+C\quad(x\in I).}
$$
\b[This need not hold on a disconnected <domain>.] On $I=(-\infty,0)\cup(0,\infty)$, define $f(x)=\sin x$ for $x<0$ and $f(x)=\sin x+1$ for $x>0$. The <function> is <differentiable> throughout $I$ with $f'(x)=\cos x$, but no single $C$ works on both components.
