Answer 2

`\text{GCF}=4a^3b^2`

a is the correct option.

Explanation:

We have to identify the GCF of the expression

`12a^4b^3+8a^3b^2`

First we identify the GCF of each term of the expression

the GCF of 12 and 8 is 4

GCF of
`a^4\text{ and }a^3\text{ is }a^3`

GCF of
`b^3\text{ and }b^2\text{ is }b^2`

Therefore, the GCF of
`12a^4b^3+8a^3b^2` should be

`\text{GCF}=4a^3b^2`

a is the correct option.
