    Perform the operation in the choices to determine the coefficients of the terms.

    (Addition) - 4x - 1 + 2x + 4 = - 2x + 3

    (Subtraction) - 4x - 1 - (2x + 4) = - 6x - 5

    (Multiplication) (-4x - 1) (2x + 4) = - 8x² - 18x - 4

    Thus, the answer is multiplication as it gives a numerical coefficient equal to - 18.
