Answer:

C 2

Explanation:

We have the expression

\left(m^(10)\right)\left(m^4\right)^(-2)

Simplify
\left(m^4\right)^(-2)

m^(4\left(-2\right))\\= m^(-8)

So the expression becomes

(m^(10))(m^(-8)) =
m^(10) \cdot m^(-8) by expanding the brackets

Apply rule for multiplying two exponents
a^b\cdot \:a^c=a^(b+c)


m^(10) \cdot m^(-8) = m^(10 - 8) = m^2

if
m^x = m^2 then

x = 2
