CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. First derivative: dydx=1x\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{x}.

  2. Differentiate again: d2ydx2=−1x2\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = - \frac{1}{x^{2}}.

Worth noting

1x\frac{1}{x} stops at the first derivative; d2ydx2\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} differentiates it once more.
