Solution

The correct option is A $x^{2} + 3 x - 4$
We know that,
Area of rectangle = length $\times$ breadth
= $(x + 4) \times (x - 1)$
Using distributive property of multiplication
= $x (x - 1) + 4 (x - 1)$
= $x^{2} - x + 4 x - 4$
= $x^{2} + 3 x - 4$
Thus, the area of rectangle is $x^{2} + 3 x - 4$ in expanded form.
