B

Explanation

The operation * on the set of integers is defined as p * q = pq, which means that the operation * is simply multiplication.To find the value of 4 * (8 * 32), we can evaluate the expression from left to right:First, we calculate 8 * 32:8 * 32 = 256Now, we substitute this result back into the original expression:4 * (8 * 32) = 4 * 256Multiplying 4 by 256:4 * 256 = 1024Therefore, the value of 4 * (8 * 32) is 1024.
