The correct answer for the exercise shown in the figure attached, is the Option G, which is:

G) c-12

The explanation is shown above:

1. You have the following quadratic equation given in the problem above:

c^2-12c+32=0

2. When you factor it, you obtain:

(c-12)c+32

2. To verify that this is correct, you can apply the distributive property and you will obtain the initial form of the quadratic equation.

(c)(c)-(12)(c)+32
c^2-12c+32
