To analyze the end behavior of the function \( y = \log x \):

  1. As \( x \to 0^+ \): The logarithm function approaches infinity. Mathematically, as \( x \) gets closer to 0 from the positive side, \( y = \log x \) tends to \( +\infty \).

  2. As \( x \to \infty \): The logarithm function increases without bound, but at a slower rate than polynomial or exponential functions. Therefore, as \( x \) approaches infinity, \( y = \log x \) tends to \( +\infty \).

Thus, the correct description of the end behavior of \( y = \log x \) is:

As \( x \to 0^+ \), \( y \to \infty \), and as \( x \to \infty \), \( y \to \infty \).

It seems there is no option that precisely matches this exact description. However, we can eliminate the incorrect statements you provided.

The correct response to choose based on the behaviors described will be:

"As \( x \to 0^+ \), \( y \to \infty\), and as \( x \to \infty\), \( y \to \infty \)." (Recheck if an option matches closely to this.)
