1. **State the problem:** We want to find which expressions are equivalent to $$-2(2h+10)+4h$$.
2. **Apply the distributive property:** Multiply $$-2$$ by each term inside the parentheses:
$$-2(2h+10) = -2 \times 2h + (-2) \times 10 = -4h - 20$$
3. **Add the remaining term:** Now add $$4h$$ to the expression:
$$-4h - 20 + 4h$$
4. **Simplify by combining like terms:** Combine $$-4h$$ and $$4h$$:
$$-4h + 4h = \cancel{-4h} + \cancel{4h} = 0$$
5. **Final simplified expression:**
$$0 - 20 = -20$$
6. **Compare with given options:**
- Option A: $$-20 - 4h + 4h$$ simplifies to $$-20$$, so it is equivalent.
- Option B: $$-20$$ is exactly the simplified expression.
- Option C: "None of the above" is incorrect because A and B are equivalent.
**Answer:** Both A and B are equivalent to the original expression.
