Answer

TRUE

Work Step by Step

If a function is differentiable, then it is continuous. If $f(-1)=f(1)$ then there must either be a local or global maximum or minimum between -1 and 1 or $|c|\lt1$. Thus, at some number between -1 and 1 there must be a number at which the derivative of the function at that point is zero. Hence, the given statement is true.
