Options
A n
B 1
C 0
Correct Answer
D -n
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The sum of coefficients in the expansion of (x-y)^n can be found by setting x=1 and y=1: (1-1)^n = 0^n = 0. Therefore, the sum of all coefficients is 0.

Hint

Substitute x=1 and y=1 to find the sum of coefficients.
