Answer:

D. log base 5 of 56

Explanation:

Since, by the multiplication law of logarithm,


log_a(m)+log_a(n) = log_a(mn)

Given expression is,

log base 5(4*7 )+log base 5 of 2


=log_5(4* 7)+log_5(2)


=log_5(28)+log_5(2)

By the above property,


=log_5(28* 2)


=log_5(56)

= log base 5 of 56

Hence, Option D is correct.
