Answer: C.
x^4+6x^3-12x-72

Explanation:

Given functions :
f(x)=√(x^2+12x+36)


g(x)=x^3-12

The function f(x) can also be written as :


f(x)=√(x^2+2(6x)+(6)(6))=\sqrt{(x+6)^2=(x+6)

[ ∵
a^2+2ab+b^2=(a+b)^2 ]

Now, the product of f(x) and g(x) will be :-

}
f(x)\cdot g(x)=(x+6)(x^3-12)\\\\=x(x^3-12)+6(x^3-12)\\\\=x^4-12x+6x^3-72\\\\=x^4+6x^3-12x-72
