Solution

The correct option is D 0
Recall that division by zero is undefined. That is, we cannot have zero in the denominator of a fraction. Therefore, while we could write 0 as 0 / 1, we could not "flip" this fraction since that would cause division by zero. Zero has no reciprocal
Then answer is 0
