The produt of two negative numbers is positive

The produt of a positive number and a negative number is negative

Thus, for the product of (8)(-23)(- 21)(-29),

the product of 8 and - 23 would be negative(positve and negative numbers)

the product of - 21 and - 29 would be positive(negative and negative numbers)

Thus, the product of the negative and positive results would be negative. Thus, the correct option is the last option
