1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to factorize the expression x+yaxayx + y - ax - ay. We need to choose the correct factorization from the given options.

2. Solution Steps

We are given the expression x+yaxayx + y - ax - ay.
We can group the terms as follows:
(x+y)(ax+ay)(x + y) - (ax + ay).
Now, we can factor out a common term from each group.
From the first group, (x+y)(x + y), we can't factor anything out.
From the second group, (ax+ay)(ax + ay), we can factor out aa, resulting in a(x+y)a(x + y).
So, we have (x+y)a(x+y)(x + y) - a(x + y).
Now, we can factor out the common term (x+y)(x + y) from the entire expression:
(x+y)(1a)(x + y)(1 - a).

3. Final Answer

The factored form of the expression x+yaxayx + y - ax - ay is (x+y)(1a)(x + y)(1 - a).
Therefore, the correct answer is C.
Final Answer: C
