Andrea argues that (5m - 3) (2m + 4) models the closure property. What reasoning could Andrea use to argue that multiplication of polynomials is closed?

• The terms in the expression are rational numbers and the product is a polynomial
• The coefficients of the product are integers and the product is a polynomial
• The exponents of the product are integers and the product is a polynomial
• The exponents of the product are whole numbers and the product is a polynomial
•The coefficients of the product are whole numbers and the product is a polynomial
• The coefficients of the product are integers and the product is a polynomial
Andrea could argue that since the coefficients (including constants) in the expression are integers, and the product is a polynomial, this demonstrates closure under multiplication of polynomials.
