In order to calculate the rocket's acceleration, we can use the given formula:


a=(\Delta V)/(\Delta t)

If the change in velocity is equal to 12 m/s and the time interval is equal to 2 seconds, the acceleration is:


\begin{gathered} a=(12)/(2) \\ a=6\text{ m/s^^b2} \end{gathered}

Therefore the correct option is C.
