Based from the graph, I think the answer is D. a piece-wise function with separate pieces of linear and step-functions. This is because as you can see from the graph, for intervals [0,1], [5,6], and [10,11] the function is linear. On the other hand, for the remaining intervals, it has a constant value which can be described as a step function.
