Step-by-Step Solution

To simplify the given expression for 0<x<10 < x < 1:
E=1+x2[{xcos⁡(cot⁡−1x)+sin⁡(cot⁡−1x)}2−1]12E = \sqrt{1+x^2}\left[\left\{x \cos \left(\cot^{-1} x\right)+\sin \left(\cot^{-1} x\right)\right\}^2-1\right]^{\frac{1}{2}}

Let θ=cot⁡−1x\theta = \cot^{-1} x. Since 0<x<10 < x < 1, we have θ∈(π4,π2)\theta \in \left(\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right) and:
cot⁡θ=x\cot \theta = x

From the trigonometric definitions for an acute angle θ\theta:
cos⁡θ=x1+x2\cos \theta = \frac{x}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}
sin⁡θ=11+x2\sin \theta = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}

Now, evaluate the term inside the curly braces:
xcos⁡(cot⁡−1x)+sin⁡(cot⁡−1x)=xcos⁡θ+sin⁡θx \cos \left(\cot^{-1} x\right) + \sin \left(\cot^{-1} x\right) = x \cos \theta + \sin \theta
=x(x1+x2)+11+x2=x2+11+x2=1+x2= x \left(\frac{x}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}\right) + \frac{1}{\sqrt{1+x^2}} = \frac{x^2+1}{\sqrt{1+x^2}} = \sqrt{1+x^2}

Substitute this back into the expression inside the brackets:
{xcos⁡(cot⁡−1x)+sin⁡(cot⁡−1x)}2−1=(1+x2)2−1=(1+x2)−1=x2\left\{x \cos \left(\cot^{-1} x\right)+\sin \left(\cot^{-1} x\right)\right\}^2 - 1 = \left(\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^2 - 1 = (1+x^2) - 1 = x^2

Now, taking the power of 12\frac{1}{2}:
[{xcos⁡(cot⁡−1x)+sin⁡(cot⁡−1x)}2−1]12=(x2)12=∣x∣\left[\left\{x \cos \left(\cot^{-1} x\right)+\sin \left(\cot^{-1} x\right)\right\}^2-1\right]^{\frac{1}{2}} = \left(x^2\right)^{\frac{1}{2}} = |x|

Since 0<x<10 < x < 1, ∣x∣=x|x| = x.

Finally, multiplying by the pre-factor 1+x2\sqrt{1+x^2}:
E=1+x2⋅x=x1+x2E = \sqrt{1+x^2} \cdot x = x\sqrt{1+x^2}

Therefore, the correct option is C.
