Answer: The correct option is

(C)
6(3)-4+3^2.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given two functions f(x) and g(x) as follows :


f(x)=4-x^2,\\\\g(x)=6x.

We know that for any two functions p(x) and q(x), we have


(p-q)(x)=p(x)-q(x).

Therefore, we get


(g-f)(x)=g(x)-f(x)=6x-(4-x^2)=6x-4+x^2\\\\\\\Rightarrow (g-f)(3)=6(3)-4+3^2.

Thus, (C) is the correct option.
