C Correct answer
Explanation

Factoring the equation x^2 - 2x = 0 gives x(x - 2) = 0. The solutions are x = 0 and x = 2.

AI explanation

To solve the equation x squared minus 2x equals 0, we apply the zero product property by taking x common to get x times (x minus 2) equals 0. Setting each factor to zero gives x equals 0 and x minus 2 equals 0. Solving these yields the roots 0 and 2.
