Explain how the Quotient of Powers was used to simplify this expression. (NEED HELP ASAP, 20 POINTS!)
2 to the fifth power, over 8 = 2 to the 2nd power

A :By finding the quotient of the bases to be one fourth , and cancelling common factors

B: By finding the quotient of the bases to be one fourth , and simplifying the expression

C: By simplifying 8 to 23 to make both powers base two, and subtracting the exponents

D:By simplifying 8 to 23 to make both powers base two, and adding the exponents
