Multiple Choice

A business analyst is simplifying a growth-projection formula represented by the expression 2a2ab+b2+3a4a2b2\frac{2a}{2ab+b^2} + \frac{3a}{4a^2-b^2}. After performing the addition and combining like terms over the common denominator, the analyst arrives at the unsimplified numerator 4a2+ab4a^2 + ab. To finalize the simplification process, the analyst must factor this numerator by extracting the Greatest Common Factor (GCF). Which of the following is the correct factored form of the numerator?
