Answer:

B.\((x-5)(x+3)\)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that an expression

\(a^2-2x-15\)

We have to find the binomial  factors of the given expression.

\(x^2-2x-15\)

To find the factors of given expression we will use of  middle term splitting factor method.

The given can be written as

\(x^2-5x+3x-15\)

\(x(x-5)+3(x-5)\)

Taking (x-5) common

\((x-5)(x+3)\)

Hence, the binomial factors of given expression is given by

\((x-5)(x+3)\)

Option B is true.
