Answer:  The correct option is (A) 4.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to use the distributive property to complete the following statement :

[tex]4(x-1)=4x-?[/tex]

Distributive property :  If a, b and c are any three real numbers, then the distributive property says that

(i) a(b + c) = ab + ac,

(ii) (a + b)c = ac + bc.

Therefore, for the given statement, we have

[tex]4(x-1)=4\{x+(-1)\}=4x+4(-1)=4x-4.[/tex]

Thus, the correct option is (A) 4.
