Determine which choice best shows the distributive property of multiplication.

Question 3 options:

1 × 4 = 4 × 1


1 × 1 = 1


1 × (4 × 6) = (1 × 4) × 6

Option D (the last option) because the distributive property is when you are multiplying everything within the parenthesis by a certain number. So in the case of this question the 1 is being multiplied by the 4 and the 6.
