1. The problem asks for the sign of the expression $3^0 \cdot 0^{26}$. 2. Recall the rules for exponents: - Any nonzero number raised to the power of 0 is 1, so $3^0 = 1$. - Zero raised to any positive power is 0, so $0^{26} = 0$. 3. Multiply the two results: $$3^0 \cdot 0^{26} = 1 \cdot 0 = 0$$ 4. The sign of 0 is neither positive nor negative; it is zero. Therefore, the answer is C Zero.
