Answer:

3y+3y−12 is the right option

Explanation:

According to addition rules of algebra, only those terms can be added whose powers are same. Same terms while adding and subtracting at the same time cancel each other. As we can see that the second option 3y + 3y will give us -6y and then -12 is with it so it results 6y - 12 and that is the required function.
