(A) 1 can normalized  in floating point representation.

Ex:- 1 = 1 *20

(B)zero is not directly representable in the straight format, due to the assumption of a leading 1 (we'd need to specify a true zero mantissa to yield a value of zero)

(C)∞ is not directly representable in the straight format, due to the assumption of a leading 1 (we'd need to specify a true zero mantissa to yield a value of zero)

Hence,Option(d)b and c only should be the correct choice.
