Answer:

Option C) The two quantities are equal.

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

n is a negative integer and p is a positive integer.

Quantity A: The product of the integers from n to p

Quantity B: 0

Quantity A is the product of integers from n to p. Since all the integers from n to p will include zero between them, thus the product of all the integers from n to p will be zero.

The product takes place in the following manner:


-n_x* -n_(x-1)*....* -n_1* 0* p_1*...* p_(y-1)* p_y = 0

Thus, both the quantities are equal.

Option C) The two quantities are equal.
