The given expression has the form of a trinomial with three terms: 
(11ebb63d_1b78_21da_b851_056be235bdfb_TB8475_11)
= (22xy^2 - 18y)(2x + 8)
= 2(11xy^2 - 9y)(x + 4)
= (7y - 9)(2x - 8)(2x + 8)

Therefore, the correct choice is D, which is the only option that matches the factored form. The given expression is a trinomial with three terms. We can notice that each term has a common factor of (2x-8). After factoring out this common factor, we get:

11ebb63d_1b78_21da_b851_056be235bdfb_TB8475_11 = (2x-8)(7y-9)(2x+8)

This is the factored form of the expression, and it matches option D. Therefore, the correct choice is D.
