-$$- \left( \frac { 5 x ^ { 3 } } { y ^ { 2 } } \right) ^ { 0 }$$
A) $- 1$
B) 1
C) $\frac { 625 x ^ { 12 } } { y ^ { 8 } }$
D) $\frac { y ^ { 2 } } { 625 x ^ { 12 } }$

Any nonzero number raised to the power of 0 is 1. Therefore, $\left( \frac { 5 x ^ { 3 } } { y ^ { 2 } } \right) ^ { 0 } = 1$. The negative sign outside makes the expression $-1$.
