Answer:

Factored form of A-B is: (5-3p^4)(25+15p^4+9p^8)

Option A is correct.

Explanation:

Given:

A= 125

B = 27p^12

To find: A-B

A-B = 125 - 27p^12

A-B=(5)^3-(3p^4)^3

We know that, a^3 - b^3 = (a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2)

Using this formula and finding factored form of A-B:

=(5-3p^4)((5)^2+(5)(3p^4)+(3p^4)^2)

=(5-3p^4)(25+15p^4+9p^8)

So, factored form of A-B is: (5-3p^4)(25+15p^4+9p^8)

Option A is correct.
