Answer: 1 (Option B)
Step-by-step solution
Step 1: Apply Product Rule of Exponents
Since all three factors share the common base 2, we combine them into a single power of 2 by adding their exponents according to the exponent rule xm⋅xn⋅xp=xm+n+p.
Step 2: Simplify the Exponent
Summing the terms inside the exponent reveals that every term cancels with its additive inverse: loga−loga=0, −logb+logb=0, and −logc+logc=0. Hence, the overall exponent simplifies to 0.
Step 3: Evaluate the Final Power
Any non-zero real number raised to the power of 0 equals 1. Therefore, 20=1, corresponding to Option (B).
