Answer:

C. It is translated up 1 unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Translations of a function f(x)

To translate a function f(x) a units to the right, we have f(x-a)

To translate a function f(x) a units to the left, we have f(x+a)

To translate a function f(x) a units up, we have f(x) + a

To translate a function f(x) a units down, we have f(x) - a

In this question:

g(x) = 5x + 1

f(x) = 5x

This means that the function g(x) is 1 added to the function f(x), that is, it is translated up 1 units, and the correct answer is given by option c.
