Answer:

D.
(21x2 - 17x + 2)\text{ square units }

Explanation:

Given,

The length of the rectangle = (7x-1) unit,

Its width = (3x-2) unit,

We know that,

The area of a rectangle = Length × Width

So, the area of the rectangle,


A=(7x-1)(3x-2)


=(7x-1)(3x)-(7x-1)(2) ( Distributive property )


=21x^2-3x-14x+2 ( Again by distributive property )


=21x^2-17x+2

Hence, Option D is correct.
