D Correct answer
Explanation

The derivative of x with respect to x is 1, following the power rule: d/dx(x^n) = n*x^(n-1). Here n=1, so d/dx(x^1) = 1*x^0 = 1. Option A (0) would be the derivative of a constant, not x. Option B is the original function, not its derivative. Option C is unrelated to this calculation.
