Answer: Choice A is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The LCM of the coefficients 14 and 16 is 112 because (14*16)/2 = 112. We multiply the values and divide by the GCF 2.

The 'a' terms are
a^5 and
a^3. We pick the one with the largest exponent when forming the LCM. Go for the smallest exponent when finding the GCF. Similar situations occur with the b and c terms as well.

So that's how we end up with
112a^5b^4c^2 as the LCM.

Side note: Choice D is the GCF of the two given expressions.
