Answer: OA X+1 <17

Step-by-step explanation:

     Let us pull out details from the passage that we need.

[] elevator ... carry fewer than 17 people at a time

[] elevator operator is ... in the elevator at all times

[] x customers can travel

     Since the operator does not count as a customer, this means that x + 1 people will be in the elevator.

     Next, there must be fewer than 17 people in the elevator.

This means the answer to our question is:

     O (A) X+1 < 17
