Answer:

C. -1

Explanation:

f(x) = 2/ (-x-1)

As we can see, f(x) is a fraction with two components: numerator (2) and denominator (-x-1).

According to the theorem, the fraction only exists when its denominator is different from 0.

So that in this situation, (-x-1) has to be different from 0

- x - 1 ≠0

=> - x≠ 1

=> x ≠ -1

So that if x = -1, (-x-1) = 0, making the fraction not exist.

So the input is not allowed is x = -1
