___________________
Step-by-step explanation:
______________________________________________________
Given 1 / 5^0 ;
______________________________________________________
We treat this as: "[1 / (5^0)] ";
______________________________________________________
Since the order of operations are:

BE MD AS; ; in which "E" ("Exponent") take priority BEFORE division.
_____________________________________________________
5^0 = 1; since anything raised to the "0", or "zeroth" power, = 1.
_____________________________________________________
So, 1 / 5^0 = 1 / (5^0) = 1 / 1 = 1 ; which is "Answer choice: [A]" .
