Final answer:

Without the actual binomials, we cannot determine the correct product. To find the product of two binomials, the FOIL method is used, but specific expressions are necessary to perform the multiplication.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question appears to be dealing with the multiplication of two binomials, which is a mathematical process used in algebra. To find the product of the binomials, you would typically use the FOIL method (First, Outer, Inner, Last) to multiply each term in the first binomial by each term in the second binomial and then combine like terms. Unfortunately, the actual binomials to be multiplied are not provided in the given information. Without the specific binomials, it is impossible to determine which of the options presented (A, B, C, or D) is the correct product. To answer this question accurately, the full expression of the binomials is needed. Once the expressions are known, you can follow the FOIL process systematically:

  1. Multiply the first terms of each binomial.
  2. Multiply the outer terms of the binomials.
  3. Multiply the inner terms of the binomials.
  4. Multiply the last terms of each binomial.
  5. Combine like terms, if any, to simplify the expression to its final form.

By following these steps, you'll arrive at the correct product of the two binomials. Remember to pay attention to signs (positive or negative) as they will affect the outcome of the product.
