Solution
1. We have
\[
m^3 + 27 = m^3 + 3^3.
\]
Using the sum of cubes formula
\[
a^3 + b^3 = (a+b)\left(a^2 - ab + b^2\right),
\]
set \(a=m\) and \(b=3\). Then it factors as
\[
(m+3)\left(m^2-3m+9\right).
\]
Thus, the answer is [C].
2. We have
\[
8b^3-125 = (2b)^3 - 5^3.
\]
Using the difference of cubes formula
\[
a^3-b^3=(a-b)\left(a^2+ab+b^2\right),
\]
with \(a=2b\) and \(b=5\), we get
\[
(2b-5)\left((2b)^2+2b\cdot5+5^2\right) = (2b-5)(4b^2+10b+25).
\]
Thus, the answer is [A].
3. We have
\[
27e^3-8 = (3e)^3-2^3.
\]
Using the difference of cubes formula with \(a=3e\) and \(b=2\):
\[
(3e-2)\left((3e)^2+3e\cdot2+2^2\right) = (3e-2)(9e^2+6e+4).
\]
Thus, the answer is [C].
4. We have
\[
8r^3+125 = (2r)^3+5^3.
\]
Using the sum of cubes formula with \(a=2r\) and \(b=5\):
\[
(2r+5)\left((2r)^2-2r\cdot5+5^2\right) = (2r+5)(4r^2-10r+25).
\]
Thus, the answer is [B].
5. We have
\[
u^3-216 = u^3-6^3.
\]
Using the difference of cubes formula with \(a=u\) and \(b=6\):
\[
(u-6)\left(u^2+6u+36\right).
\]
Thus, the answer is [C].
6. We have
\[
27d^3-64 = (3d)^3-4^3.
\]
Using the difference of cubes formula with \(a=3d\) and \(b=4\):
\[
(3d-4)\left((3d)^2+3d\cdot4+4^2\right) = (3d-4)(9d^2+12d+16).
\]
Thus, the answer is [A].
7. We have
\[
c^3+8 = c^3+2^3.
\]
Using the sum of cubes formula with \(a=c\) and \(b=2\):
\[
(c+2)\left(c^2-2c+4\right).
\]
Thus, the answer is [C].
8. We have
\[
8z^3+125 = (2z)^3+5^3.
\]
Using the sum of cubes formula with \(a=2z\) and \(b=5\):
\[
(2z+5)\left((2z)^2-2z\cdot5+5^2\right) = (2z+5)(4z^2-10z+25).
\]
Thus, the answer is [D].
9. We have
\[
g^3-8 = g^3-2^3.
\]
Using the difference of cubes formula with \(a=g\) and \(b=2\):
\[
(g-2)\left(g^2+2g+4\right).
\]
Thus, the answer is [C].
10. We have
\[
b^3+64 = b^3+4^3.
\]
Using the sum of cubes formula with \(a=b\) and \(b=4\):
\[
(b+4)\left(b^2-4b+16\right).
\]
Thus, the answer is [A].

Beyond the Answer
To factor \( m^{3}+27 \), we can apply the sum of cubes formula, which states that \( a^{3} + b^{3} = (a+b)(a^{2} - ab + b^{2}) \). In this case, \( a = m \) and \( b = 3 \). Hence, we get \( (m+3)(m^{2}-3m+9) \). For \( 8b^{3}-125 \), this is a difference of cubes where \( 8b^{3} = (2b)^{3} \) and \( 125 = 5^{3} \). Thus, using the difference of cubes formula \( a^{3} - b^{3} = (a-b)(a^{2} + ab + b^{2}) \), we can factor it as \( (2b-5)(4b^{2}+10b+25) \).
