The answer is B. 1. Exponents add when you have the same base. This works for any number x that you want to plug in except for x = 0,because 0/0 is indeterminate (it is like dividing zero by zero). No matter what number we use when it is raised to the zero power it will always be 1.

The correct option is B): "1" because exponents add when you have the same base and when no other value is added then any value raised to power 0 gives one as answer
