Actually, DrBob22, I disagree.
neither
The second choice is almost correct. It is missing a minus sign. It should be: 9b^2-16b^2
Why?
(-4)^2 (b)^2 => 16b^2
remember, you're square both the coefficient and the variable.
note: the minus sign is not in the parenthesis, so you do not do anything to it.
Therefore, you have 9b^2-16b^2

Oops. I believe you are correct. Sorry about that. The parentheses led me astray.
