To simplify the expression \( v^7 \times w^4 \) using the product rule, we recognize that the product rule generally applies to variables with the same base. However, in this case, the bases \( v \) and \( w \) are different.
Therefore, we cannot simplify \( v^7 \times w^4 \) any further using the product rule, as there are no common bases to combine.
Thus, the correct choice is:
B. The expression cannot be simplified.
