1 unit left, because what's inside the bracket with a plus sign goes left and if with a minus sign goes to right.

we know that

The vertex of the graph
y=6x^(2) is the point
(0,0)

The vertex of the graph
y=6(x+1)^(2) is the point
(-1,0)

so

the rule of the translation is


(x,y)------> (x-1,y)

That means

one unit to the left

therefore

the answer is the option

1 unit left
