Let's do the actual work to be able to answer this question.

Subtract x^6 - 2ax + c from x^2 - ax.

You may find it easier to write these two expressions in a column:

x^2 - ax

-( x^6 - 2ax + c)

-----------------------

-x^6 + x^2 + ax - c are the four terms that result from this subtraction. -x^6 is the only one listed among the possible answer choices.
