The correct answer for the exercise shown above is:

zero (0)

The explanation is shown below:

7/6a

2. By definition, the nonpermissible replacement for a is the value that make the denominator equal to zero.

3. Keeping this on mind, you have:

7/6a=7/6(0)=7/0

Therefore, as you can see, the answer is: zero (a=0).
