Answer:

A.

Explanation:

Order of operations, parentheses first. when it says "two times THE SUM OF ...." it means you need to find the sum first, which you do. you should know that in math, when a number is next to a parentheses they get multiplied, which is what happens next, and there is nothing else to be done so A is you answer.
