Answer:

B. (U+V)(U-V)

Explanation:

Factoring

The given expression is:


4x^2-9y^6

It should be noted that both terms are perfect squares:


(2x)^2=4x^2


(3y^3)^2=9y^6

Since it's a difference of squares, we need to use the following pattern to factor the required expression:


(U^2-V^2)=(U+V)(U-V)

Thus, the answer is

B. (U+V)(U-V)
