Hey there!
4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4
= 16 × 16 × 4
= 256 × 4
= 256 + 256 + 256 + 256
= 512 + 512
= 1,024

Option B. is also INCORRECT because it is also too small.
Option C. 4^2 × 4^3
4^2 × 4^3
= 4^5
= 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4
= 16 × 16 × 4
= 256 × 4
= 1,024
Option C. could possibly be one of the answers
Option D. 5^2 × 4(5)
5^2 × 4(5)
= 5 × 5 × 20
= 25 × 20
= 500
Option D. is also INCORRECT because it’s too small.
Option E. 4^1 × 4(5)
4^1 × 4(5)
= 4 × 4(5)
= 4 × 20
= 20 + 20 + 20 + 20
= 40 + 40
= 80
