Final answer:

The correct option that only lists multiples of 16 is 16, 32, 48, 64. These numbers can be obtained by multiplying 16 by integers 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks which option only lists multiples of 16. To determine this, we must recall that a multiple of a number is another number that can be obtained by multiplying the original number by an integer. Multiples of 16 would be numbers that result from multiplying 16 by any whole number. Now, let's examine the options:

  • 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 - This list contains divisors of 16, not multiples beyond 16 itself.
  • 16, 24, 32, 40 - This set contains some multiples of 8, but since 24 and 40 are not multiples of 16, it is not the correct answer.
  • 16, 32, 48, 64 - All these numbers can indeed be obtained by multiplying 16 with whole numbers (1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively). Hence, this option is correct.
  • 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16 - Similar to the first, this list contains factors and one multiple of 16, which is 16 itself, but it includes numbers that are not multiples of 16 like 12.

Therefore, the option that only lists multiples of 16 is 16, 32, 48, 64.
