The correct answer is: $\log _{e} \frac{1+\beta}{1+\alpha}$
Hint:
$\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \sum_{k=1}^{n}[\log |1+x|]_{\frac{1}{k+\beta}} \frac{1}{k+a}$
$=\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \sum_{k=1}^{n}\left(\log \left(1+\frac{1}{k+\alpha}\right)-\log \left(1+\frac{1}{k+\beta}\right)\right)$
$=\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \sum_{k=1}^{n}\left(\log \left(\frac{k+\alpha+1}{k+\alpha}\right)-\log \left(\frac{k+\beta+1}{k+\beta}\right)\right)$
$=\log \left(\frac{\beta+1}{\alpha+1}\right)$
