Answer:

Option C,
(1)/(x^(2)y^(2)  )

Explanation:

Any non-zero expression raised to the power of 0 equals 1.

So
x^(0)  = 1


(1y^(-3) )/(x^(2)y^(-1)  )

Divide the terms with the same base (y) by subtracting their exponents (aka powers)


(y^(-3) )/(yx^(-1) )  = (1)/(x^(2) yx^(-1- (-3)) ) = (1)/(x^(2)y^(2)  )

Hope this helps
