The correct answer is: $2 \sqrt{2}$
Observing the graph of $\log x$, we find that the required area lies below $\mathrm{X}$-axis between $\mathrm{x}=0$ and $x=1$.


$$
\begin{aligned}
& \text { Sorequired area }=\left|\int_0^1 \log x d x\right|=\left.|(x \log x-x)|\right|_0 ^1 \\
& =|-1|=1
\end{aligned}
