Answer:

Option 1 - The product of two negative rational numbers is never zero.

Explanation:

To find : The product of two negative rational numbers ?

Solution :

By zero product rule,

If
a\cdot b=0 either a=0 or b=0 or both are zero.

i.e. the two number product will be zero if any of them is zero.

Now, this case is also valid for negative number as multiply of two negative number is positive.

As zero is not considering to be negative number.

So, the product of two negative rational numbers is never zero.

Therefore, option 1 is correct.
