• A) \(\log _ { \mathrm { b } } \mathrm { x } + 5 \log _ { \mathrm { b } } \mathrm { y } - 4 \log _ { \mathrm { b } } z\)
• B) \(\log _ { b } x + \log _ { b } y ^ { 5 } - \log _ { b } z ^ { 4 }\)
• C) \(\log _ { b } x + 5 \log _ { b } y + 4 \log _ { b } z\)
• D) \(\log _ { \mathrm { b } } \mathrm { x } + \log _ { \mathrm { b } } \mathrm { y } ^ { 5 } + \log _ { \mathrm { b } } \mathrm { z } ^ { 4 }\)
