Option B

[tex]\large{\textsf{\textbf{Calculations\::}}[/tex]

If the base is 4 , and the exponent is 2 , then the expression looks as follows :

[tex]\textbf{\textsf{$4^2$}}[/tex]

So we multiply 4 times itself .

The answer is :

[tex]\textsf{\textbf{16}}[/tex]

Detail : 4² is not equal to 4×2 , and here's why .

4² = 4 × 4 = 16

4 × 2 = 8

Now , if the exponent is negative , then we turn the number over as follows :

4⁻² = [tex]\mathsf{\dfrac{1}{16} }[/tex]

So the right option is :

[tex]\bigcirc[/tex] 16 , -16

[tex]\bigcirc\!\!\!\!\!\!\bigstar[/tex] 16 , 1/16

[tex]\bigcirc[/tex] 8 , -8

[tex]\bigcirc[/tex] 8 , 1/8

(Option B is right)
