the correct anser would be B. associative. because associative you would have to get your answers by making a upside down triangle it couldnt be distributive because that only letters, it coulding me multiplication property of zero because that like a normal multiplication problem like 9x0=0,and it cant be commutative because that involves substitution or exchange. so your answer wold be B. associative. HOPE THIS HELPS :)

That is the distributive property! The distributive property lets you multiply a sum by multiplying each addend separately and then add the products.
