Answer:  The correct option is (D) [tex]3x+1<x+3.[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to select the equation or inequality that represents the following statement:

"1 more than 3 times a number is less than the sum of 3 and the same number ".

Let, the given number be represented by x.

Then,

1 more than 3 times the number x is written as  

[tex]3\times x+1=3x+1.[/tex]

and the sum of 3 and the number x is written as

[tex]x+3.[/tex]

Since the first statement is less than the second statement, so we can write

[tex]3x+1<x+3.[/tex]

Thus, the correct option is (D).
