Answer: The correct option is (c)
4a^4b^5.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to choose the correct expression for the following product :


P=a^3b^2.4ab^3~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

We will be using the following property of exponents :


x^p.x^q=x^(p+q).

From (i), we have


P\\\\=a^3b^2.4ab^3\\\\=4a^(3+1)b^(2+3)\\\\=4a^4b^5.

Thus, the required product is
4a^4b^5.

Option (c) is CORRECT.

In order to find the product of the given values above, simply multiply both of them.
So (a3b2)(4ab3) and we get, 4a^4b^5. In multiplying these, the rule is just to add both the exponents which makes this as the correct answer. The answer therefore is option A. Hope this answer helps.
