    (-8) * (-1) = 8

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The first five steps of a pattern are shown as below:

    (-8) * (4) = - 32

    (-8) * (3) = - 24

    (-8) * (2) = - 16

    (-8) * (1) = - 8

    (-8) * (0) = - 0

    Therefore, the product value is increasing by 8 units as we move down and the term which is multiplied with 8 is decreasing by 1 as we move down.

    Hence, according to this pattern, we can write the next step as

    (-8) * (-1) = 8

    So, option d will be correct. (Answer)
