Answer:

Option (d) is correct.

Selina's age is written as x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Amy is 5 years younger than Selina. if Selina's age can be represented by x,

We have to write an expression representing Amy's age.

Since, x represent the Selina's age.

and also Amy is 5 years younger than Selina

that is Amy is 5 years smaller than Selina

So Selina is 5 year older than Amy

So, Selina's age is written as x + 5
