Which is the simplified form of x to the negative 12 power ?

A negative exponent means take the reciprocal of the expression and change the exponent to positive: x⁻¹² = 1/x¹². Therefore, the simplified form is the fraction with 1 in the numerator and x¹² in the denominator. This is choice C, assuming x is not zero.
