Firstly, focus on the terms with the variable "u". Factor out "4u" from the first two terms and "4" from the last term. This gives us:
4u(S1U1P1)2(S1S1P0)
Now, factor out "4" from the remaining terms:
4(u + 4)(S1U1P1)2(S1S1P0)
Finally, simplify the exponents of the first term:
4(u + 4)(S1U1P12)(S1)(P0)
The expression is now completely factored. Option D matches this result: 4(u + 4)(u - 4).
