What is the result of multiplying two even numbers?

Even
Odd
Undefined
Both Even and Odd

The correct answer is: Even

When two even numbers are multiplied together, the result is always an even number. This is because an even number can be expressed in the form of 2n, where n is any integer. When you multiply two even numbers, say 2a and 2b (with a and b also being integers), the product can be rewritten as follows: (2a) * (2b) = 4ab = 2(2ab). In this expression, 2ab is an integer, which means that the product is in the form of 2n, confirming that the result is even. This property of even numbers holds true regardless of which even numbers are chosen. Hence, multiplying two even numbers will always yield an even result.
