    It would be B. (x-13) (x+13). 13 times 13 is 169 and multiplying a negative and a positive will still give a negative value

    The answer is B

    Step-by-step explanation:

    As 169 is a perfect square of 13 and the formula is, a²-b² = (a+b) (a-b). Or you can try to expand it out:

    (x+13) (x-13) = x² - 13x + 13x - 169

    = x² - 169

    (Hope you understand)
