[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To simplify the expression (x + 1) - (-2x - 5), we can start by distributing the negative sign inside the parentheses:

(x + 1) - (-2x - 5) = x + 1 + 2x + 5

Now, we can group like terms together:

x + 2x + 1 + 5 = 3x + 6

Therefore, the simplified expression is 3x + 6.

So, the correct option is D. 3x + 6.
