Answer: A) The log parent function has negative values in the range.
Explanation:
The domain of y = ln (x) is D: x > 0
The domain of y =

is D: x ≥ 0
The range of y = ln (x) is: R: -∞ < y < ∞
So the only valid option is A because the range of a log function contains negative y-values when 0 < x < 1.
