Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

16\(x^4 - y^4\)

= 2\(^4x^4 - y^4\)

= \((2x)^4 - y^4\)

= \(((2x)^2)^2 - (y^2)^2\)

Using a\(^2 - b^2\) = (a - b)(a + b) identity

= ((2x)\(^2 - y^2)((2x)^2 + y^2)\)

Using the identity one more time

= \((2x - y)(2x + y)((2x)^2 + y^2)\)

∴ \((2x - y)(2x + y)(4x^2 + y^2)\)

There is an explanation video available below.
