Final answer:

The correct answer is (2, 0). To convert polar form to rectangular form, use the formulas x = r * cos(theta) and y = r * sin(theta). For (2, 0), x = 2 * cos(0) = 2, y = 2 * sin(0) = 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is a. (2, 0).

The given expression is in polar form (r, θ). To convert it to rectangular form, we can use the following formulas:

x = r * cos(θ)

y = r * sin(θ)

For the given expression (2, 0), when we substitute the values of r and θ in the formulas, we get:

x = 2 * cos(0) = 2 * 1 = 2

y = 2 * sin(0) = 2 * 0 = 0

Therefore, the rectangular form of (2, 0) is (2, 0).
