Solution

The correct option is B (a+b+c)(ab)(bc)(ca)
Let

Q(a,b,c)=a3(bc)+b3(ca)+c3(ab)

If we interchange the value of a,b,c then we will get the same polynomial

Q(a,b,c)=Q(b,c,a)=Q(c,a,b)

So ab is a factor of Q(b,b,c)
As the polynomial is cyclic so
Bc and ca are also the factor of Q

The only symmetrical polynomial of degree 1 R(a,b,c)=k(a+b+c), where k= constant

Q(a,b,c)=(ab)(bc)(ca)k(a+b+c)~~~~~-(1)$

To find the value of k compare the coefficient of one terms.
The coefficient of a3b in Q(a,b,c) is
so a×b×(a)×ka=a3b
so k=-1

(1)Q(a,b,c)=(a+b+c)(ab)(bc)(ca)
