b. second derivative
c. third derivative
d. expression​

Answer 1

answer is second derivative

for it can helps you

Answer 2

It is described by the first derivative.

• The sign of the derivative at a given point indicates whether the function is increasing or decreasing near the specific point.
• When we consider the derivative as the slope of the tangent line, this becomes clear.
• The function would be increasing at that point if the slope of the tangent line is positive. Similarly, if the tangent line's slope is negative, the function would be decreasing.
