To find the multiplicative inverse of a number, we need to identify the value that, when multiplied by the original number, gives the result of 1.
The multiplicative inverse of a number 'x' is 1/x. For example, the multiplicative inverse of 7 is 1/7, because:
7 × 1/7 = 1
Now, for the number -7, the multiplicative inverse is 1/(-7), which is equivalent to -1/7.
So, the correct answer is:
(d) -1/7
