Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

In the expression for an integral, ∫ f(x)dx, the function f(x) is called the integrand, and dx indicates the variable of integration. The entire term f(x)dx refers to the differential of the integrand or simply the integrand in context. The result ∫ f(x)dx + C is the indefinite integral.

Hint

Recall the definitions of the parts of an integral expression.
