Final answer:

The inverse of absolute value is the reciprocal value, or the multiplicative inverse, of a positive number.

Step-by-step explanation:

The inverse of absolute value is reciprocal value (Option C). The absolute value function, denoted by |x|, always returns a positive value. The reciprocal value, or the multiplicative inverse, of a positive number is another positive number. When we take the reciprocal of an absolute value, we get a positive number that is the same as the original value.
