Answer: FIRST OPTION.

Explanation:

To know which is the solution set given the inequality
3x < -6 you need to solve for the variable "x".

You must divide both sides by 3:


3x < -6\\\\(3x)/(3)=(-6)/(3)

Therefore, you get:


x<-2

Then, the solution set is the following:

{
x | x < -2}

You can observe that this solution set matches with the first option.
