Answer:
\Large\boxed{Second~Choice.~x^2-4x+3=(x-3)(x-1)}

Explanation:

Given information

Refer to the graph in the question

Concept

The first row represents the multiplicand

The first column represents the multiplier

The blocks inside represent the product

Find the expression for the multiplicand

There is one (+ x) block

There are three ( - 1) blocks

1 (+x) + 3 (-1) = x - 3

Find the expression for the multiplier

There is one (+ x) block

There is one (- 1) block

1 (+x) + 1 (-1) = x - 1

Find the expression for the product

There is one (+ x²) block

There are four (- x) blocks

There are three (+ 1) blocks

1 (+x²) + 4 (-x) + 3 (+1) = x² - 4x + 3

Combine all the expressions together

Product = multiplicand × multiplier


\Large\boxed{x^2-4x+3=(x-3)(x-1)}

Hope this helps!! :)
