    Correct option is C

    Given:

    We are given the equation x+y=1x + y = 1x+y=1 and are asked to find the value of x3+y3+3xyx^3 + y^3 + 3xy 

    Formula Used:

    x3+y3=(x+y)(x2xy+y2)x^3 + y^3 = (x + y)\left(x^2 - xy + y^2\right) 

    (x+y)2=x2+2xy+y2(x + y)^2 = x^2 + 2xy + y^2​​

    Solution:

    Substitute x + y =1 into this identity:

    x3+y3=(1)(x2xy+y2)=x2xy+y2x^3 + y^3 = (1)(x^2 - xy + y^2) = x^2 - xy + y^2 

    We know,

    (x+y)2=x2+2xy+y2(x + y)^2 = x^2 + 2xy + y^2 

    Since x+y=1x + y = 1x+y=1, we have:

    12=x2+2xy+y21^2 = x^2 + 2xy + y^2  

    1=x2+2xy+y2 1 = x^2 + 2xy + y^2 

    x2+y2=12xyx^2 + y^2 = 1 - 2xy 

    Thus, we have: 

    x2xy+y2=(x2+y2)xy=(12xy)xy=13xyx^2 - xy + y^2 = (x^2 + y^2) - xy = (1 - 2xy) - xy = 1 - 3xy 

    Now substituting  x3+y3=13xyx^3 + y^3 = 1 - 3xy​ into the original expression x3+y3+3xyx^3 + y^3 + 3xy 

    x3+y3+3xy=(13xy)+3xyx^3 + y^3 + 3xy = (1 - 3xy) + 3xy 

    x3+y3+3xy=1x^3 + y^3 + 3xy = 1 

    The value of (x3+y3+3xyx^3 + y^3 + 3xy​) is: 1.
