C. abc, cab...keep in mind the commutative property...u can move things around and it will not change the end result....abc = cab = bca = bac = cba...

Answer 2

Option C

Explanation:

We have to find the pair of terms composed of like terms.

(A) 2a, 2b Unlike terms

(B) -3x, +3y Unlike terms

(C) abc, cab

As we know cumulative property of multiplication shows a×(b×c) = (a×b)c

Therefore, both the terms abc and cab are similar.

(D) 4mn, 3my Unlike terms

Option C is the answer.
