Answer: Hence, option 'A' is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that


-4* (-1)/(4)=1

It is the property of multiplicative inverse.

As we know that "Inverse Property of Multiplication" which states that

When we multiply a number with its reciprocal, we always get an identity.

i.e.


a* (1)/(a)=1

Hence, option 'A' is correct.

Hi there! So, there's -4 and that is being multiplied by -1/4, which is it's reciprocal, because it's -4 flipped over. It's definitely not C or D. There is no addition, so it's not B. The only answer that truly makes sense is A, so the answer is A.
