Answer:

C.
-27+10i

Explanation:

The expression is:


(i+3)+6i-3(8-i)

Distribute -3 inside the bracket. This gives,


i+3+6i+(-3* 8)- (-3* i)\\ i+3+6i-24-(-3i)\\ i+3+6i-24+3i

Now, we combine the like terms and simplify. This gives,


(i+6i+3i)+(-24-3)=10i+(-27)=-27+10i

Therefore,
(i+3)+6i-3(8-i) is equal
to
-27+10i.
