Correct option is D

Given:
x² = y + z
y² = z + x
z² = x + y
Solution:
1) x² = y + z
 x² + x = y + z + x 
=>1x+1=xx+y+z\Rightarrow \frac{1}{x + 1} = \frac{x}{x + y + z} ............(1)​
2) y² = z + x 
 y² + y = x + z + y = x + y + z
=>1y+1=yx+y+z\Rightarrow \frac{1}{y + 1} = \frac{y}{x + y + z} ..........(2)
3) z² = x + y
 z² + z = x + y + z
=>1z+1=zx+y+z\Rightarrow \frac{1}{z + 1} = \frac{z}{x + y + z}..........(3)
Add 1, 2, and 3
1x+1+1y+1+1z+1=xx+y+z+yx+y+z+zx+y+z1x+1+1y+1+1z+1=x+y+zx+y+z=1\frac{1}{x+1} + \frac{1}{y+1} + \frac{1}{z+1} = \frac{x}{x + y + z} + \frac{y}{x + y + z} + \frac{z}{x + y + z}\\ \frac{1}{x+1} + \frac{1}{y+1} + \frac{1}{z+1} = \frac{x + y + z}{x + y + z} = 1​​
