Answer: B.
11*11^4

Explanation:

The laws of exponents say that
(11^8)/(11^3) = 11^(8-3).\\ In the end, the answer choice should result in
11^5.

A is incorrect because
(11^7)/(11^7) = 11^(7-7)=11^0=1, and
1\\eq 11^5.

B is correct because the laws of exponents say that
11*11^4=11^(1+4)=11^5.
11 has an understood power of
1.

C is incorrect because
(11^0)/(11^5) = 11^(0-5)=11^(-5), and
11^(-5)\\eq 11^5.

D is incorrect because any base raised to the 0th power will always be 1.
