Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Division by zero is not allowed
1. Fractions follow the same arithmetic laws as whole numbers.
2. That includes the rule against division by zero, so a zero denominator is not allowed.
3. Addition is commutative, so order never changes the sum, and zero has no reciprocal.
