Final answer:

Without Sofia's actual answer to the expression 4 + 2(c - 3b), we cannot determine the correctness of her answer, leading to the conclusion that option D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question appears to ask whether Sofia's answer to the simplified algebraic expression 4 + 2(c – 3b) is correct. However, the question does not provide Sofia's actual answer, so we cannot determine if her answer is correct without additional information. In arithmetic and algebra, simplifying an expression is a fundamental skill, and it is essential to perform operations in the correct order and apply the distributive property where necessary. The expression 4 + 2(c – 3b) may be simplified further by applying the distributive property, resulting in 4 + 2c – 6b. But without knowing Sofia's answer, we cannot evaluate its correctness, thus the correct choice would be option D: Sofia's answer cannot be determined from the given information.
