B. 4^5

When multiplying exponents with the same base, you can simply add them together and keep the base the same.
Many people accidentally multiply the exponents, so just be cautious of that :) hope this helps

correct me if i'm wrong, but i think it's b, since you add the exponents and keep the 4 the same.
