The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Concept: Rationalization.

Step 1:
Multiply conjugate.
\[ \frac{(x^2+1)-(x^2-1)}{\sqrt{x^2+1}+\sqrt{x^2-1}} \]

Step 2:
Simplify numerator.
\[ = \frac{2}{\sqrt{x^2+1}+\sqrt{x^2-1}} \]

Step 3:
Divide by \( x \).

Step 4:
Limit: \[ = \frac{2}{x(1+1)} = \frac{1}{x} \]

Step 5:
As \( x\to\infty \): \[ =0 \]
