MLE when the support depends on the parameter

Let X1,X2,…,XnX_1,X_2,…,X_n be a random sample from a distribution with the probability density function

f(x;θ)={c(θ)e−(x−θ),x≥2θ, 0,otherwise,f(x;\theta)=\begin{cases}c(\theta)e^{-(x-\theta)}, & x\ge2\theta,\ 0, & \text{otherwise,}\end{cases}

where θ∈R\theta\in\mathbb R is the unknown parameter. Then which of the following statement(s) is (are) true?
