Solution
The correct option is C(x2+3x−5)(x2+3x−y) When we observe the given expression we find that (x2+3x) is a common factor between the first two terms and -y is acommon factor between the last two terms. Hence (x2+3x)2−5(x2+3x)−y(x2+3x)+5y = (x2+3x)[(x2+3x)−5]−y[(x2+3x)−5] = (x2+3x−5)(x2+3x−y)
