Answer:

Option 4 is the correct answer.

Explanation:

We need to find the sign of the product.

The given expression is


(-2)* (4)* (-6)* (-3)

In multiplication we have a rule of signs

(+) multiplied (+) = (+)

(-) multiplied (-) = (+)

(+) multiplied (-) = (-)

(-) multiplied (+) = (-)

So, we can evaluate it as:


(-2)* (4)* (-6)* (-3)\\=(-8)* (18)\\= -144

Hence, the correct option is option 4 that is

The product is negative as product of -2 and 4 is negative and product of -6 and -2 is positive. the product of positive and negative gives a negative.
