From what i understood is you are trying to ask the range of f(x).

Given y= 1/ f(x), y is less than or equal to -1/4 or y is greater than 0.

The simplest way to find range of f(x) is to input the extreme values of y. 

For examples y=-1/4, f(x)= -4

y= - infinity, f(x)=0

y= + infinity, f(x)=0

y= any number between 0 and 1(0,1), f(x) can be range from 1 to +infinity

y = any number greater than 1, f(x) can range from from (0,1)

Hence the answer to your question is b. f(x) is greater than or equal to -4.
