Final answer:

The question's request to factor an expression is not aligned with the given options, as factoring requires applying mathematical techniques that are unrelated to the example solutions based on the quadratic formula. No choice from a, b, c, or d is confidently correct without additional context or correction.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to factor an expression but provides incorrect representations of factoring. Factoring involves rewriting a mathematical expression as a product of its factors, which are expressions that multiply together to give the original expression. The correct factoring process is unrelated to the example solutions provided (which are based on the quadratic formula and not factoring).

Since the given expression (12 – p)(48 - √5 - 2310) cannot be directly factored from the provided options without more context or correction, we cannot confidently choose any of the answer choices a, b, c, or d. A typical step in factoring is to look for common factors in each term and to apply factoring techniques like grouping or the use of formulas such as the difference of squares.
