CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. ddxeu=euu′\frac{d}{dx} e^{u} = e^{u} u' with u=tan⁡xu = \tan x, u′=sec⁡2xu' = \sec^{2} x.

  2. etan⁡xsec⁡2xe^{\tan x}\sec^{2} x.

Worth noting

etan⁡xe^{\tan x} treats the exponent as if it were xx; it needs the factor sec⁡2x\sec^{2} x.
