Options

Option A

0

Option B

10

Option C is correct

20

Option D

-10

Explanation

First, solve the operation inside the parenthesis: 6−8=−26 - 8 = -2. The expression becomes (−5)×(−2)+10(-5) \times (-2) + 10. Next, perform multiplication: (−5)×(−2)=10(-5) \times (-2) = 10. Finally, perform addition: 10+10=2010 + 10 = 20. Thus, the correct answer is 20.
