Answer:

Answer C

[tex]\Large \boxed{\sf \bf \ \ (5x-4)(5x+4) \ \ }[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, I assume that you means [tex]25x^2-16[/tex], right?

[tex]25x^2-16=(5x)^2-4^2=\large \boxed{\sf (5x-4)(5x+4)}[/tex]

Because we know that a and b real numbers:

[tex]a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)[/tex]

Hope this helps.

Do not hesitate if you need further explanation.

Thank you
