Detailed Solution

Concept- In the case of an additive inverse, the sum of a rational number and its inverse should be equal to zero, while in the case of a multiplicative inverse, the product of a rational number and its reciprocal should be equal to one.
Let's assume that

is a rational number.
We now understand that a number's additive inverse is a number that, when added to itself, produces zero.

As a result,

has an additive inverse, which is

.
Additionally, we are aware that the multiplicative inverse or reciprocal of a number is such that its value is equal to one when multiplied by the original number.

As a result,

is a multiplicative inverse of a.
As a result, the multiplicative inverse of

, whereas the additive inverse of

.
Hence, the correct option is 1.
