Answer 1

The statement given is an example of the **distributive property**.

The distributive property states that a(b - c) = ab - ac. In your case, 8(3f) - 8(7g) is being shown as 8(3f - 7g), which demonstrates the distribution of the coefficient (8) over the terms inside the parentheses.

So the correct answer is:
A. Distributive
