c^0 = 1, so it can be dropped. (ab)^3 can be rewritten as (a^3)(b^3). a^3 cancels out and we are left with b^3/b^4, or 1/b. Thus the answer is D.

Given: \(\frac{ (ab)^3 c^0}{a^3b^4}\)
Simplify: \(\frac{ a^3b^3 (1)}{a^3b^4}\)
The \(a^3\) terms cancel out to get: \(\frac{b^3}{b^4}\)
Simplify: \(\frac{1}{b}\)
Answer: D
