Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
The vertical asymptote of the logarithmic function g(t)=−log5tg(t) = -\log_5 tg(t)=−log5t occurs where the argument of the logarithm, ttt , is zero because the logarithm is undefined at 0. This corresponds to the y-axis, or where t=0t = 0t=0 , not listed explicitly among the options A-D.
