Solution

The correct option is A

2c+ab-ac-bc


We have to add ab+ab, b+c-bc and c-a-ac.

Step 1: Explanation of the correct answer

We know that while adding algebraic expressions, always add the like terms, i.e. the terms having the same variable and power.

a-b+ab+b+c-bc+c-a-ac=a-b+ab+b+c-bc+c-a-ac

Now grouping like terms;

=a-a+b-b+c+c+ab-bc-ac=0+0+2c+ab-ac-bc=2c+ab-ac-bc

Thus the required answer is 2c+ab-ac-bc.

Therefore option (A) is correct.

Step 2: Explanation of the incorrect answer

Options (B), (C), and (D) do not give the correct answer.
