y = x^(1/x)
Take the natural log of each side
ln(y) = ln(x^(1/x))
ln(y) = (1/x)ln(x)
Now take the derivative
y'/y = (-1/x^2)(lnx) + (1/x)(1/x)
y'/y = (1/x^2)(1 - lnx)
Multiply both sides by y.
y' = (y/x^2)(1-lnx)

It doesn't look like any of them are right.

You have not told us what y is, so it's not possible to tell you what y' is.
