This question is testing your knowledge of the chain rule.
H(x) = f(ln(x)) + ln(g(x))
Here, you can take the derivative of both sides and apply the chain rule
H'(x) = f'(ln(x))* (ln(x))' + 1/g(x) * g'(x)
H'(x) = f'(ln(x))* (1/x) + 1/g(x) * g'(x)
H'(1) = f'(ln(1))* (1/1) + 1/g(1) * g'(1)
H'(1) = f'(0) + 1/g(1) * g'(1)
H'(1) = 9 + 1/3 * (-3)
H'(1) = 8
