Step-by-step solution

First, let's recall the formula for calculating the area of a square with side length y (length units):

S=y2 S_{\boxed{}}=y^2 Therefore, for a square with side length:

x+1 x+1 (length units), the expression for the area is:

S=(x+1)2 S_{\boxed{}}=(x+1)^2 Now, in order to simplify the expression, let's recall the perfect square binomial formula:

(a±b)2=a2±2ab+b2 (a\pm b)^2=a^2\pm2ab+b^2 Let's continue and apply this formula to the area expression we got:

S=(x+1)2S=x2+2x1+1S=x2+2x+1 S_{\boxed{}}=(x+1)^2 \\ \downarrow\\ S_{\boxed{}}=x^2+2\cdot x\cdot 1+1\\ \boxed{ S_{\boxed{}}=x^2+2x+1}\\ This is the most simplified expression for the given square's area,

therefore the correct answer is answer D.
