The correct answer is: [A]: " -60 " .
________________________________________________________
Step-by-step explanation:
________________________________________________________
We are asked to find the "product" of the two numbers, " 12 " and " -5 " .
________________________________________________________
The "product" refers to the result of "multiplying" numbers.
________________________________________________________
So, what is the value, when "12" is multiplied by "-5" ?
________________________________________________________
Note: When a "positive number" is multiplied by a "negative number" , the result is a "negative number" .
________________________________________________________
So; the product of "12" and "-15" is: " 12 * -5 " ; which equals: " -60 " ;

which is: Answer choice: [A]: " - 60 " .
