The answer to your question is the third option because both terms (y^2 and 16) can be simplified into a perfect square
Cetacea

Answer: Option C

We will factor 16 so that the sum of the factors is 8.

Such factors are 4 and 4.

So the factorization of the given expression is:

[tex]y^2+8y+16\\=y^2+4y+4y+16\\=y(y+4)+4(y+4)\\=(y+4)(y+4)\\=(y+4)^2[/tex]

So the given trinomial is a perfect square trinomial.
