Solution

We have,

\[\lim_{x \to 1^-} \left[ x - 1 \right] = \lim_{h \to 0} \left[ 1 - h - 1 \right] = \lim_{h \to 0} \left[ - h \right] = - 1\]

Also, 

\[\lim_{x \to 1^+} \left[ x - 1 \right] = \lim_{h \to 0} \left[ 1 + h - 1 \right] = \lim_{h \to 0} \left[ h \right] = 0\] 

\[\therefore \lim_{x \to 1^-} \left[ x - 1 \right] \neq \lim_{x \to 1^+} \left[ x - 1 \right]\] 

Thus, 

\[\lim_{x \to 1} \left[ x - 1 \right]\] does not exist.
Hence, the correct answer is option (d).
