Answer: Choice [D] -
\boldsymbol{81-49y^2}

Explanation:

Hii, do you need to know which expression represents a difference of squares? No problem! (:

The Difference of Squares

Let's consider it for a moment. The "difference of squares" means we subtract two numbers squared, like
\boldsymbol{a^2-b^2}.

Now let's check our choices and see where we subtract two numbers squared.

The only choice like that is Choice [D] -
\boldsymbol{81-49y^2}.

In choice A, we add 2 numbers; in choices B and C we don't subtract two numbers squared.

Voila! There's our solution, cheers! (:
