Answer:

-4dq

Explanation:

This product of a constant and two variables is as simple as it gets.

__

If the ? is supposed to represent an exponent, that exponent would be applied to each of the factors in the product:

(-4dq)^n = (-4)^n·d^n·q^n

The numeric value of (-4)^n can be figured once the numeric value of n is known.
