    Solution:

    Since, ab=abab=ab×1ab×ba=1

    ba is called the multiplication inverse of ab. Hence ab×ba=1

    So ba is not additive inverse of ab and also

    ab=abab+(ab)=0

    So , abis additive inverse of ab

    But here asked about ba

    B: Since ab×ba=1. Clearly  says that bais multiplicative inverse of ab
