[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To simplify the expression, we must first evaluate the exponents. Recall that any number raised to the power of 0 equals 1.

So, the expression becomes:

(9 - 1) + 1.

Simplifying further:

8 + 1 = 9.

Finally, divide 9 by 2 to get 9/2, which is equivalent to 1/2.

So, the answer is not among the options given.
