Given the expression:


\frac{j^3k^{}}{h^0}

Where,

h = 8

j = -1

k = -12

Let's plug in the values to the expression:


\frac{j^3k^{}}{h^0}
\frac{(-1)^3(-12)^{}}{8^0}

Recall: Any number that is raised to the power of zero is always equal to 1.

We get,


\frac{(-1)^3(-12)^{}}{8^0}\text{ = }((-1)(-12))/(1)\text{ = (-1)(-12)}

Recall: When multiplying integers of the same sign, the product is always a positive integer.

We get,


(-1)(-12)\text{ = 12}

Therefore, the answer is 12, letter A.
