d. 15​

Answer:

D. 15

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume you know what pascal's triangle is if this is the work you must complete. If not, I have attached it below.

Now, raising (a+b) to the 6th term would expand to this, based on Pascal's triangle

[tex]\left(a+b\right)^6 = \quad a^6+6a^5b+15a^4b^2+20a^3b^3+15a^2b^4+6ab^5+b^6[/tex]

Remember that terms are separated by addition or subtraction symbols.

The 5th term of this 7 term expansion would be 15a^2b^4. The coeffecient is 15 in this case.
