Answer:

Correct choice is (C).
4z^5.

Explanation:

Given expression is
-3z^5-\left(-7z^5\right).

Now we need to simplify that then select the correct difference value from the given choices.


-3z^5-\left(-7z^5\right)

negative times negative is positive


=-3z^5+7z^5

Combine like terms because variable z has same exponent.


=(-3+7)z^5


=4z^5

Hence correct choice is (C).
4z^5.
