Given f (x) = tanx - x

Apply first derivative and get

\mathrm{f}^{\prime}(\mathrm{x})=\frac{\mathrm{d}(\tan \mathrm{x}-\mathrm{x})}{\mathrm{dx}}$

Apply sum rule and get
\Rightarrow f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{d(\tan x)}{d x}-\frac{d(x)}{d x}$

Apply derivative,
\Rightarrow f^{\prime}(x)=\sec ^{2} x-1$
Square of every number is always positive,
So f^{\prime}(x)>0 \forall x \in R$
So f (x) = tanx - x always increases.
So the correct answer is option A
