Answer:

The correct option is B.

Explanation:

The given expression is


m^(-8)p^0

According to the property of exponent.


a^(-n)=(1)/(a)

Using this property, the given expression can be written as


m^(-8)p^0=(p^0)/(m^8)


m^(-8)p^0=(1)/(m^8)
[\because x^0=1]

The simplified form of given expression is,


(1)/(m^8)

Therefore option B is correct.
