Answer: (A)
2x^4+2x^3-12x^2 is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to expand the following expression :


E=2x^2(x+3)(x-2)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

To expand the given expression, we must multiply each term of every expression to each term of the other two expressions.

The expansion is as follows :


E\\\\=2x^2(x+3)(x-2)\\\\=2x^2(x^2+3x-2x-6)\\\\=2x^2(x^2+x-6)\\\\=2x^4+2x^3-12x^2.

Thus, the required expended form is
2x^4+2x^3-12x^2.

Option (A) is CORRECT.
