Detailed Solution

 p(x) = 16x4 + 12x3 – 10x2 + 8x + 20 and the divisor polynomial d(x) = 4x – 3. The degree of p(x) is 4 and the degree of d(x) is 1. We are going to use the long division method. We compare the first term in p(x)  and first term in d(x). We can only reach 16x4  by only multiplying 16x44x = 4x3  to d(x) = 4x – 3. We initiate the long division method and have,
4x3+ 6x2 + 2x + 72
4x – 3 )16x4+ 12x3- 10x2+ 8x+12̲  − (16x4 − 12x3)
     24x3 10x2̲+ 8x+20 - (24x3- 18x2)
              8x2+ 8x̲+20
 − (8x2 − 6x )
                                14x+20̲
14x- 212
                                                 612̲
So the remainder is 612 which is polynomial of degree 0 less that the degree of d(x). So we stop the division here find the quotient and remainder respectively as
q(x) = 4x3 + 6x2 + 2x + 72 and r(x) = 612
So the correct option is 4.
