D) None of these.

Answer 1

B.) 48 has to be broken up into 12 to get 4

Explanation:

Answer 2

B). Break 48 into 4 groups of 12.

Explanation:

Since 48 is divided by 12, you should break 48 into 12 different groups with 4 in each. All the other answer choices do not make sense because you cannot break 4 into 12 groups and get 48, same with 12.
