Answer: A) The log parent function has negative values in the range.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
The domain of y = <em>ln </em>(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.
