Solution

The correct option is D $5051^{5052}$
As we know, any non-zero number raised to an even power produces a positive number.

For examples: $4^{2} = 16 (- 4)^{2} = 16 3^{2} = 9 (- 3)^{2} = 9$

As a result, any even-powered exponents can be rewritten with a negative base.

Therefore, $2021^{2022}$ and $5051^{5052}$ can be rewritten with negative bases.

$2021^{2022} = (- 2021)^{2022}$ and $5051^{5052} = (- 5051)^{5052}$

What do you think the value of $6^{o}$ is ?
You have seen that a hook up of repeater machines with the same base can be replaced by a single repeater machine. Similarly, when you multiply exponential expressions with the same base, you can replace them with a single expression.
Asif Raza thought about how he could rewrite the expression $2^{2} 0 \times 2^{5}$ .

Asif Raza's idea is one of the product laws of exponents, which can be expressed like this
Multiplying Expressions with the same base $a^{b} \times a^{c} = a^{b + c}$
Actually, this law can be used with more than two expressions. As long as the bases are the same, to find the product you can add the exponents and use the same base.
e.g. $3^{2} \times 3^{3} \times 3^{10} = 3^{2 + 3 + 10} = 3^{15}$
