Answer:  Choice (b) 4y^2 - y - 24;  top right corner

===========================================================

Work Shown:

T = total number of students in the class

T = 4y^2 + y - 8

F = number of students who play football

F = 2y+16

B = number of students who play basketball

B = unknown for now

Since a student either plays football or basketball, but not both, this means

T = F+B

which rearranges to

B = T-F

Plug in the given expressions and simplify

B = T-F

B = (4y^2+y-8) - (2y+16)

B = 4y^2+y-8 - 2y - 16

B = 4y^2 + (y-2y) + (-8-16)

B = 4y^2 - y - 24
