Distribute the 8p to all of the numbers in the parenthesis. You would multiply the coefficient and add the exponents. The answer would be B.

8p(-3p² + 6p - 2)

Simplify.

(8p · -3p²) + (8p · 6p) + (8p · -2)

Simplify.

(-24p³) + (48p²) + (-16p)

Simplify.

-24p³ + 48p² - 16p

So, your answer is the THIRD answer choice.

~Hope I helped!~
