Answer:

B. Distributive property.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression is simplified by expanding it using the distributive property which says for any real numbers [tex]a,b,[/tex]  and [tex]c[/tex]

[tex]c(a+b)=ca+cb[/tex]

and upon simplification the expression becomes:

[tex]3x(y-14)=3xy-42x[/tex]
