its b

because this is how the distributive property works....
i'm going to use 2 and 4 for example
6(2+4)= 36 because you add 2 and 4(or a and b) then multiply by 6 because when using the distributive you use pemdas which is an abbreviation for parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition and subtraction and that is the order you do it in

o answer b you multiply 6 by a (or 2) then multiply 6 by b (or 4) after doing that you add them together and it equals 36 just like 6(2+4) (or 6(a+b)..)
and that is why it is b

The answer is option B. In the distributive property you need to multiply the constant that is outside of the parenthesis, with the terms that are inside :)
