Identity element: #color(red)0#

Explanation:

#color(red)0# is the identity element since
#color(white)("XXX")a# * #color(red)0=a+color(red)0 - (axxcolor(red)0)=a#
and
#color(white)("XXX")color(red)0# * #a=color(red)0+a-(color(red)0xxa)=a#

I expect this question is intended to be a check on your understanding of the definition of identity element.
