  • A -2
  • B 2
  • C -5
  • D 5
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation:
To find the value of \(\log_{10} \left(\frac{1}{100}\right)\), you can use the logarithm property:

\[
\log_{10} \left(\frac{1}{100}\right) = \log_{10} (10^{-2})
\]

Since \(\log_{10} (10^x) = x\):

\[
\log_{10} (10^{-2}) = -2
\]

So, the value is:

A. -2
