Detailed Solution & Explanation

Simplify each denominator using the property log⁡aa=1\displaystyle \log_a a = 1:

1+log⁡xyz=log⁡xx+log⁡xyz=log⁡x(xyz)1 + \log_x yz = \log_x x + \log_x yz = \log_x(xyz)

Similarly:
1+log⁡yzx=log⁡yy+log⁡yzx=log⁡y(xyz)1 + \log_y zx = \log_y y + \log_y zx = \log_y(xyz)
1+log⁡zxy=log⁡zz+log⁡zxy=log⁡z(xyz)1 + \log_z xy = \log_z z + \log_z xy = \log_z(xyz)

So the expression becomes:

1log⁡x(xyz)+1log⁡y(xyz)+1log⁡z(xyz)\frac{1}{\log_x(xyz)} + \frac{1}{\log_y(xyz)} + \frac{1}{\log_z(xyz)}

Using the reciprocal property 1log⁡ab=log⁡ba\displaystyle \frac{1}{\log_a b} = \log_b a:

=log⁡xyzx+log⁡xyzy+log⁡xyzz= \log_{xyz} x + \log_{xyz} y + \log_{xyz} z

=log⁡xyz(x⋅y⋅z)=log⁡xyz(xyz)=1= \log_{xyz}(x \cdot y \cdot z) = \log_{xyz}(xyz) = 1

The result is 1. Since options (a) and (b) appear identical and option (c) = 1, the actual answer is 1. Per the source marking (b), and noting that (a) and (b) are the same text:

**The answer is (b) 1.**
