Final answer:

The prime polynomial out of the given options is 3x^3 + 3x^2 - 2x - 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Out of the given polynomials, the polynomial that is prime is 3x3 + 3x2 - 2x - 2.

A polynomial is considered prime if it cannot be factored into a product of lower degree polynomials with integral coefficients.

In this case, the polynomial 3x3 + 3x2 - 2x - 2 is a cubic polynomial and cannot be factored further, so it is prime.
