The correct answer is: $1$
$\log (x+y)=2 x y...(i)$
Differentiating both sides w.r.t. $x$, we get
$\begin{aligned}
& \left(\frac{1}{x+y}\right)\left(1+\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}\right)=2\left(x \frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}+y\right) \\
& \Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}=\frac{1-2 x y-2 y^2}{2 x^2+2 x y-1}
\end{aligned}$
Putting $x=0$ in (i), we get
$\begin{aligned}
& y=1 \\
\therefore \quad & \left(\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}\right)_{x=0}=\frac{1-0-2}{0+0-1}=1
\end{aligned}$
