need the answer …

Explanation:

Your choice of answer must be consistent with the instructions.

The only answer with no exponent is the correct one:

1/3

__

The rules of exponents tell you ...

(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)

3^(-4) × 3^3 = 3^(-4+3) = 3^-1

and

a^-b = 1/a^b

so

3^-1 = 1/3^1 = 1/3 . . . . written without an exponent
