Correct answer: C
- We need to evaluate
and compare it with
So our goal is to find .
- Use the standard combinatorial identity:
Let us verify it quickly:
Also,
Hence they are equal.
- Apply this identity with and :
Therefore,
- Now use the binomial identity:
So,
Comparing with
we get
- Match with the options:
- A:
