The given expression is :


3^(2).3^(5).3^(-3).

The power denotes the number of time the number is multiplied.When bases are same exponents are added.


a^(m).a^(n)=a^(m+n)..

The bases in the given question is the same .3 is the base here so exponents can be added.


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

Option B is the right answer.
