The Answer Is 4s(2+5t).. Because If You Multiply 4s by 2 It Equals 8s and When You Multiply 4s by 5t you get 20t so therefore...8s + 20t

I think the given expression is


8s+20st

Let's check the first option , which is


4s(2+5t)

Using distributive property, we will get


4s*2+4s*5t = 8s+ 20st

Which is same to the given expression. Therefore correct option is the first option .
