The distance formula can be represented below


\begin{gathered} c^{}=\sqrt[]{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2} \\ \end{gathered}

Therefore,


\begin{gathered} c=\sqrt[]{(4+2)^2+(9-3)^2} \\ c=\sqrt[]{(6)^2+(6)^2} \\ c=\sqrt[]{36+36} \\ c=\sqrt[]{72} \\ c=\sqrt[]{36*2} \\ c=6\sqrt[]{2} \end{gathered}

The answer is D.
