Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

-2|x - 1| = -4

|x - 1| = 2

since we are dealing with a function that brings 2 values to the same result, the reverse function (needed to find the values of x that create the result y) has 2 branches :

(x - 1) = 2

and

(x - 1) = -2

x - 1 = 2

x = 3

x - 1 = -2

x = -1

therefore, B is the right answer.
