Okay, here we have this:

Considering the provided expression, we are going to find the requested solution, so we obtain the following:


\begin{gathered} ((1)/(12))^(-2b)\cdot12^(-2b+2)=12 \\ 12^(2b)\cdot12^(-2b+2)=12 \\ 12^(2b-2b+2)=12 \\ 12^2=12 \\ 144=12 \end{gathered}

Since the sides are not equal, there is no solution. Therefore the correct option is the fourth option "no solution".
