Answer:

A) +16

Explanation:

y^2 + 8y + x

Let "x" be the constant term.

We have to find the factors of constant term such that when we add the factors we have to get 8.

4*4 = 16

When we add them, we get 7 + 4 = 8.

Therefore, the trinomial is y^2 + 8y + 16.

The answer is A) +16

Hope this will helpful.

Thank you.
