    Answer : Option D

    Explanation :


    This type of question can solve by a sort trick that is the first term numerator, and the last term denominator will be the answer.
    i.e., 1-1/2 = 1/2, 1-1/3 = 2/3, 1-1/4 = 3/4 and so on
    (1/2)*(2/3)*(3/4) .... ((x-1)/x) = (1) (1/x)
    The first term denominator cancelled by its next term numerator till the end.
    In the end, we get 1/x.
