C

Commutative property of addition

a + b = b + a

Commutative property of multiplication

a . b = b . a

Distributive property of multiplication over addition.

xa + xb = x (a + b)

So,

Using Distributive property of multiplication over addition

5a(4b)+5a(6c) = 5a (4b + 6c)

Using Commutative property of multiplication

5a (4b + 6c) = (4b + 6c) 5a
