When expanded, \( 3^2 \) becomes \( 3 \times 3 \).
Evaluating \( 3^2 \) gives \( 9 \).
None of the provided options correctly describe what \( 3^2 \) expands to, but we focus on the evaluation.
So in this case, the correct answer for when evaluated is \( 9 \). However, since "9" is not an option, it seems there may have been a misunderstanding in your question, or the answer choices do not align with standard mathematical terminology.
If we strictly look at the options:
- **A) 32** is incorrect.
- **B) 3 + 2** equals 5, which is incorrect.
- **C) 3 × 2** equals 6, which is also incorrect.
- **D) 3 × 2** is the same as C and is incorrect.
To clarify, if you are looking for how \( 3^2 \) expands, it should be noted as \( 3 \times 3 \), and its evaluation indeed is \( 9 \).
