Multiple Choice

In a technical review of an algebraic derivation, you are asked to identify the property used to transition from (2y4x2)2(12y4x2)−1\left(\frac{2y^4}{x^2}\right)^2\left(\frac{12y^4}{x^2}\right)^{-1} to (2y4)2(x2)2⋅(12y4)−1(x2)−1\frac{(2y^4)^2}{(x^2)^2} \cdot \frac{(12y^4)^{-1}}{(x^2)^{-1}}. Which exponent property justifies this specific step in the simplification of the expression (2xy2x3y−2)2(12xy3x3y−1)−1\left(\frac{2xy^2}{x^3y^{-2}}\right)^2\left(\frac{12xy^3}{x^3y^{-1}}\right)^{-1}?
