Answer with explanation:

Consider a Logarithmic Function


y=\log_(a) b\\\\y=(\log b)/(\log a)\\\\ \text{if, a=1,then}\\\\y=(\log b)/(\log 1)\\\\y=(\log b)/(0)

which is not defined.

Also,⇒ a∈(0,∞)≠1.

b> 0, that is, b∈(0,∞)

Option C:

is not a logarithmic function because the base is equal to 1.
