【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】Quantity A simplifies to n ¹⁷ , while Quantity B simplifies to n ¹⁰ . However, the greater quantity depends on the value of n. If the value is positive, then n ¹⁷ is greater, but if n is negative, then n ¹⁰ is the greater value. Since the quantities depend on the value assigned to the variable, the relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
