As points, x-intercepts take the form (x,0), so to find the intercepts we can set y=0 and solve for x.

x\ln(x+e)=0\implies\begin{cases}x=0\\\ln(x+e)=0\end{cases}

From the first equation alone, we already know that x=0 is a solution, which means one intercept is (0,0).

The second equation gives

\ln(x+e)=0\implies e^{\ln(x+e)}=e^0\implies x+e=1\implies x=1-e

so that the second intercept occurs at (1-e,0).

So if a=0 and b=1-e, we have a+b=1-e, giving C as the answer.
