identity element is the element in the set which when operated by a number with the operation given produces the same element as result example

(N,*) here ) 1 is the identity element as 5(natural number) * 1 = 5 

now in your question only (N,+) doesn't have an identity element rest have 1 as the identity element.

PS: 0 can be part of $N$ or not and there is no agreement on this. See here

For (N,+), no identity exists. For all others, identity would be 1.
