Answer: 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall, the inverse of an exponential function is a logarithmic function. Thus, if

y = = logb x, then

where b is the base of the logarithm

x = b^y

The given expression is

loga 1 = ?

Let loga 1 = t

by applying the rule above,

1 = a^t

Recall, if we raise any variable to the power of zero, the value is 1. Thus,

1 = a^0

1 = 1

Thus, t = 0

loga 1 = 0

Thus, the correct option is 0
