B. [-1, ∞).

Step-by-step explanation:

g (x) = 3|x - 1| - 1

When x = 1 g (x) = 3 (0) - 1 = - 1.

As all negative vales of x will give positive values of |x - 1| then g (x) = - 1 is its minimum value. The graph will be shaped like a letter V with the vertex at (1,-1).

Therefore the range is [-1, ∞).
