To find the product, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.
The given expression is 4/7 * (-20/2).
The numerator is 4 * -20 = -80.
The denominator is 7 * 2 = 14.
Therefore, the product is -80/14.
Simplifying the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2.
-80/14 = -40/7.
Therefore, the product is -40/7.
In mixed number form, this can be written as -5 and 5/7.
So the correct answer is option C) -5 and 5 over 7.
