Solution

We have, 

\[\left| \sin x \right| = \begin{cases}\sin x, & 0 \leq x \leq \frac{\pi}{2} \\ - \sin x, & - \frac{\pi}{2} \leq x < 0\end{cases}\] 

Now, 

\[\lim_{x \to 0^-} \frac{\left| \sin x \right|}{x} = \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{- \sin x}{x} = - \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin x}{x} = - 1\] 

\[\lim_{x \to 0^+} \frac{\left| \sin x \right|}{x} = \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin x}{x} = 1\] 

Clearly, 

\[\lim_{x \to 0^-} \frac{\left| \sin x \right|}{x} \neq \lim_{x \to 0^+} \frac{\left| \sin x \right|}{x}\] 

∴\[\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\left| \sin x \right|}{x}\] does not exist.
Hence, the correct answer is option (d).
