I would say: #-oo#:

Graphically:
graph{(ln(x))/x [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

Because the function evaluated at 0 results in the indeterminate form #(-oo)/0#, one should use L'Hôpital's rule .

Explanation:

#lim_(xto0)ln(x)/x#

Apply L'Hôpital's rule:

#lim_(xto0)((d(ln(x)))/dx)/((d(x))/dx) =#

#lim_(xto0)(1/x)/(1) =#

#lim_(xto0)1/x#

This limit is known to be unbounded

#lim_(xrarr0^+) lnx/x = -oo#

Explanation:

#lim_(xrarr0^+) lnx = -oo# and

#lim_(xrarr0^+) 1/x = oo#.

So the product has a limit of #-oo#
