Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(-{ }^{45} C_{16}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given expression is \(\left(1 - 3x + 3x^2 - x^3\right)^{15}\). Observe that \(1 - 3x + 3x^2 - x^3 = (1 - x)^3\). Substituting this into the expression, we get \(((1 - x)^3)^{15} = (1 - x)^{45}\). The general term in the binomial expansion of \((1 - x)^{n}\) is given by…
