Answer

False

Work Step by Step

To transform $|f(x)|$ to $f(x)$, we must reflect certain points across the x-axis. However, it is not given which points must be reflected, and it is possible that only $f(c)$ needs reflecting across the x-axis. This would then break continuity, showing that $f(x)$ is not necessarily continuous.
