Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
The expression interprets ^ as exponentiation, adhering to standard mathematical precedence where powers are evaluated before multiplication. First, 2^3 calculates to 8 and 4^5 equals 1024. Substituting these values results in the multiplication chain 1 * 8 * 1024 * 6, which computes to exactly 49152.
