Step-by-step explanation

In general, a shift of a function f(x) in a units to the rigth is given by:


f(x)\rightarrow g(x)=f(x-a).

In this case, we have f(x) = log x, and g(x) = log(x - 2).

Comparing this data with the general transformation from above, we identify a = 2.

Answer

D. 2 units in the x direction
