Is (–2n)^4 = –8n^4? Choose the best explanation for why or why not.

A. Yes; –2 times 4 makes –8, and the n becomes n^4.
B. Yes; for n = 1, (-2n)^4 = -8 x 1 not equal to -8n^4
C. No; for values other than 0, (–2n)^4 = 16n^4 not equal to –8n^4.
D. No; the negative in front of the 2 means –2n^4 needs to become 1/2n^4
