Correct answer
C
Step-by-step explanation
$\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})=\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{x}} ; \mathrm{x}>0 \\
& \ell \operatorname{nn}=\mathrm{x} \ell \mathrm{n} \mathrm{x} \\
& \frac{1}{\mathrm{y}} \frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}=\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{x}}+\ln \mathrm{n} \\
& \frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}=\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{x}}(1+\ell \mathrm{n} x)
\end{aligned}$
for strictly increasing
$\begin{aligned}
& \frac{d y}{d x} \geq 0 \Rightarrow x^x(1+\ell n x) \geq 0 \\
& \Rightarrow \ell n x \geq-1
\end{aligned}$
