Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>GCF= Greatest Common Factor</u>
Given a polynomial, the GCF is the largest polynomial that will divide evenly into that polynomial.
The polynomial is

First, we find the GCF of the coefficients:
16, 32, 48
Since 32 and 48 are multiples of 16, 16 is the GCF of the coefficients.
Now we select all the repeating variables with their smallest exponent:


The GCF of the polynomial is

D.
This is because:
8/8 rounds up to a whole number and 12/9 and 3/2 are improper fractions as the numerator (top number) is more than the denominator (bottom number)
