Answer:

B.(x-y)(x+y)

Step-by-step explanation:

The factor of x² - y² can be represented by,

A.(x - y)²

INCORRECT:

Translated to (x - y)(x - y) as the exponent says it multiplied by it self

(x - y)(x - y) = x²- 2xy + y² which doesn't match

B.(x-y)(x+y)

Correct!

x times x =  x²

-y times y = -y²

x² - y²

C.(x+y)(x+y)

INCORRECT

x times x =  x²

y times y = y²

x² + y² which doesn't match as y positive here

D.2(x - y)

INCORRECT

distribute 2 so 2x - 2y which isn't the original
