Answer: 1 (Option B)

Step-by-step solution

Step 1: Apply Product Rule of Exponents

Since all three factors share the common base 22, we combine them into a single power of 22 by adding their exponents according to the exponent rule xm⋅xn⋅xp=xm+n+px^m \cdot x^n \cdot x^p = x^{m+n+p}.

Step 2: Simplify the Exponent

Summing the terms inside the exponent reveals that every term cancels with its additive inverse: log⁡a−log⁡a=0\log a - \log a = 0, −log⁡b+log⁡b=0-\log b + \log b = 0, and −log⁡c+log⁡c=0-\log c + \log c = 0. Hence, the overall exponent simplifies to 00.

Step 3: Evaluate the Final Power

Any non-zero real number raised to the power of 00 equals 11. Therefore, 20=12^0 = 1, corresponding to Option (B).
