considering your Question as:
Is |x| < 1 ?

a) -- > |x+1| = 2|x-1|
b) ---> |x-3| ≠ 0

Solution:

|x|< 1 ==> -1<x<1

Option A)
(x+1) = 2(x-1) ==> x = 1/3
(x+1) = -2(x-1) ==> x = 3

so not sufficient

Option B):-
x ≠ 3

Not sufficient

combine A and B:)
x = 1/3 ==> so sufficient

so answers should be C.

Oops, I wrote it by mistake, it should be:

x + 1 = -2x + 2

==> 3x = 1

==> x = 1/3

So Please read it like:

Option A)
(x+1) = 2(x-1) ==> x = 3
(x+1) = -2(x-1) ==> x = 1/3
