The correct answer is: Difference

The correct term for the answer to a multiplication problem is "product." When you multiply two numbers together, the result is called the product. For example, in the equation 3 x 4 = 12, the number 12 is the product of 3 and 4. The other terms refer to different mathematical operations: The term "difference" describes the result of subtraction, where one number is taken away from another.

Understanding these terms and their associations is essential for mastering basic arithmetic operations.
