<em>《</em><em>°</em><em>♡</em><em> </em><em>i think that the answer to this question is -5 1/3</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em>-16</em><em>/</em><em>3</em><em>)</em><em> </em><em>hope this helps!</em><em> </em><em>♡</em><em>°</em><em>》</em>
It looks like they're multiplied, then you can simply add the exponents,
b⁸ * b⁴ = b⁸⁺⁴ = b¹²
remember, b⁸=b*b*b*b*b*b*b*b and b⁴=b*b*b*b
so b⁸ * b⁴ = b*b*b*b*b*b*b*b * b*b*b*b = b¹²
I think the answer will be 5?
Answer: (A) -5 and (C) -3
