Explicit scheme uses the left endpoint

If the value of the approximate solution of the initial value problem $y^{'} (x) = x (y (x) + 1), x \in R, y (0) = β$ at x = 0.2 using the forward Euler method with step size 0.1 is 1.02, then the value of $β$ is

A.0
B.−1
C.2
D.1✓

You have the answer. Trap Analysis is why the other three were written.

Not a worked solution repeated four times — the specific reasoning error each wrong option was built to reward.
