Given the follow:

Root96 - root54 + root24

We are to find the expression that is equivalent.

root96 = root16 x root6

root54 = root9 x root6

root24 = root4 x root6

(root16 x root6) - (root9 x root6) + (root4 x root6)

= 4root6 - 3root6 + 2root6

= (4 - 3 + 2)root6

= (1 + 2)root6

= 3root6

Therefore, the correct option is C which is 3root6
