Calculation:

Given,

The function is \(f(x) = |x - 3| \), which is an absolute value function.

The domain of an absolute value function \(f(x) = |x - a| \) is all real numbers, because the absolute value function is defined for all values of x. The function handles both positive and negative inputs for x .

Since there are no restrictions or undefined points for the absolute value function, the domain is all real numbers.

∴ The domain of the function is \((-\infty, \infty) \)

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.
