CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. First derivative: dydx=(x+1)ex\frac{dy}{dx} = \left(x + 1\right) e^{x}.

  2. Differentiate again: d2ydx2=(x+2)ex\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = \left(x + 2\right) e^{x}.

Worth noting

(x+1)ex\left(x + 1\right) e^{x} stops at the first derivative; d2ydx2\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} differentiates it once more.
