Unbiased estimator under a normal mixture

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

f(x)=122π[e−12(x−2μ)2+e−12(x−4μ)2],−∞<x<∞.f(x)=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2\pi}}\left[e^{-\frac12(x-2\mu)^2}+e^{-\frac12(x-4\mu)^2}\right],\quad -\infty<x<\infty.

If T=X1+X2+⋯+XnT=X_1+X_2+\cdots+X_n, then which one of the following is an unbiased estimator of μ\mu?
