Solution

The correct option is C

am+n


Since the base a is same and power m and n are different.

When we multiply two numbers with same base but different powers, then according to law of exponents the base remains same and power adds.

Therefore,

am×an=(a)m+n

So, am×an=am+n.

Hence, the correct option is (c).
