The distributive property indicates that, the multiplication is distrubuted to the terms within the brackets.

Here,

27+36

The first step in factorising is to look for any common factors.

27 and 36 are both multiples of 3 and 9.

As 9 if the highest among them, let us take 9.

So, dividing by 9,


27+36=9(3+4)

We can check the reverse by distrubutive property, as,


9(3+4)=9*3+9*4=27+36

So the option D is correct.
