The functions are given as follows:


\begin{gathered} f(x)=11x^3-3x^2 \\ g(x)=7x^4+9x^3 \end{gathered}

To evaluate [f(x).g(x)], we multiply both functions:


f(x)\text{.}g(x)=(11x^3-3x^2)(7x^4+9x^3)

Expanding, we have


\begin{gathered} =11x^3(7x^4+9x^3)-3x^2(7x^4+9x^3) \\ =77x^7+99x^6-21x^6-27x^5 \end{gathered}

Simplifying, we have the answer to be


f(x)\text{.}g(x)=77x^7+78x^6-27x^5

Therefore, the correct option is OPTION A.
