The correct answer is: $g$ is decreasing on $(1, \infty)$
$g(x)=\int_{1}^{x}\left(\frac{2(t-1)}{t+1}-\ln t\right) f(t) d t$, $\therefore \quad g^{\prime}(x)=\left[\frac{2(x-1)}{x+1}-\ln x\right] f(x)$

Here $f(x)>0, \forall x \in(1, \infty)$

Let $h(x)=\frac{2(x-1)}{x+1}-\ln x$

$\therefore \quad h^{\prime}(x)=\frac{4}{(x+1)^{2}}-\frac{1}{x}=\frac{-(x-1)^{2}}{(x+1)^{2} x} < 0, x \in(1, \infty)$

$\Rightarrow h(x)$ is decreasing function.

Hence, for $x>1, h(x) < h(1) \Rightarrow h(x) < 0 \forall x>1$

$\Rightarrow g^{\prime}(x) < 0 \forall x \in(1, \infty)$

Therefore, $g(x)$ is decreasing on $(1, \infty)$.
