What is multiplication?
Multiplication is the process of multiplying, therefore, adding a number to itself for the number of times stated. For example, 3 × 4 means 3 is added to itself 4 times, and vice versa for the other number.
The result of the given operation can be written as,
[tex]-2\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-3&5&1\\8&-2&3\\2&1&-4\end{array}\right][/tex]
Since for a multiplication operation, each element of the matrix is multiplied with the given term, therefore, the matrix can be written as,
[tex]= \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-3\times -2&5\times -2&1\times -2\\8\times -2&-2\times -2&3\times -2\\2\times -2&1\times -2&-4\times -2\end{array}\right][/tex]
Solving the multiplication, we will get,
[tex]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}6&-10&-2\\-16&4&-6\\-4&-2&8\end{array}\right][/tex]
Hence, the correct option is D.
