Factor out the greatest common monomial factor of the polynomial below, if one exists. 20x5y3−14xy2+8y220 x ^ { 5 } y ^ { 3 } - 14 x y ^ { 2 } + 8 y ^ { 2 }20x5y3−14xy2+8y2
A) 2y2(10x5y−7x+4) 2 y ^ { 2 } \left( 10 x ^ { 5 } y - 7 x + 4 \right) 2y2(10x5y−7x+4)
B) 2y2x(10x4y−7x+4) 2 y ^ { 2 } x \left( 10 x ^ { 4 } y - 7 x + 4 \right) 2y2x(10x4y−7x+4)
C) y2(20x5y−14x+8) y ^ { 2 } \left( 20 x ^ { 5 } y - 14 x + 8 \right) y2(20x5y−14x+8)
D) 2y2(10x5y2−7xy+4y) 2 y ^ { 2 } \left( 10 x ^ { 5 } y ^ { 2 } - 7 x y + 4 y \right) 2y2(10x5y2−7xy+4y)
E) no common factor other than 1

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The greatest common monomial factor among the terms 20x5y320x^5y^320x5y3 , −14xy2-14xy^2−14xy2 , and 8y28y^28y2 is 2y22y^22y2 , leading to the factorization 2y2(10x5y−7x+4)2y^2(10x^5y - 7x + 4)2y2(10x5y−7x+4) .
