Which property is shown? 2*1=2 a. distributive property b. associative property of multiplication c. identity property of multiplication d. commutative property of addition

The answer is C. 1 is considered the multiplicative identity because when you multiply it by a number, you get that same number as a product. similarly, 0 is considered the additive identity because adding 0 to anything returns the same number.

the distributive property would look more like 2(1+2) = 2(1) + 2(2)
associative property would be like 2*(3*4) = (2*3)*4
commutative would look like 2*1 = 1*2
