(A) The general term $T_{r+1}$ in the expansion of $(x^2 - x^{-2})^{16}$ is given by: $T_{r+1} = ^{16}C_{r} (x^2)^{16-r} (-x^{-2})^r$ $T_{r+1} = ^{16}C_{r} (-1)^r x^{32-2r} x^{-2r}$ $T_{r+1} = ^{16}C_{r} (-1)^r x^{32-4r}$ For the constant term,the power of $x$ must be $0$: $32 - 4r = 0 \implies 4r = 32 \implies r = 8$ Substituting $r = 8$ into the expression: $T_{8+1} = ^{16}C_{8} (-1)^8 x^{32-4(8)} = ^{16}C_{8} (1) (1) = ^{16}C_{8}$
