Let $x=-1$ and $x=2$ be the critical points of the function $f(x)=x^3+ax^2+b \ln|x|+1, x \neq 0$. Let $m$ and $M$ respectively be the absolute minimum and the absolute maximum values of $f$ in the interval $\left[-2, -\frac{1}{2}\right]$. Then $|M+m|$ is equal to (Take $\ln 2 \approx 0.7$):

  • A
    $21.1$
  • B
    $19.8$
  • C
    $22.1$
  • D
    $20.9$
