Ellipses: Standard Form

Scelta multipla
In the context of conic sections, a “completely flat ellipse” corresponds to a degenerate case where the minor axis shrinks to 0 (so $b = 0$ while $a > 0$ ). Using the ellipse eccentricity formula $e = \frac{c}{a}$ with $c^{2} = a^{2} - b^{2}$ , what is the eccentricity of this completely flat ellipse?
