Answer:

B.

Explanation:

A. is saying that the product of 9 * 3 times 6 would be 6 less than what 9 * 3 would be. This does not make any sense considering 9 x 3 x 6 = 162, where 9 x 3 = 27.

C. is saying that the product of 9 and 3 times 6 will be 6 more than what 9 x 3 would be. This does make sense either because it is technically saying that 27 + 6 = 162.

D. is saying that the product of 9 and 3 times 6 will be a fraction (1/6) of it. So, D. is telling you that 9 x 3 x 6 is 1/6 of 27, which does not make sense saying that 162 is bigger than 27.

Saying this, B. must be the answer.

Hope this helps! :)
