Let's solve all of them to see :

_________________________________


{x}^(2) - 12x + 36 = 0


({x - 6})^(2 ) = 0


x - 6 = 0


x = 6

There's only one solution , thus it's not what we want.

_________________________________


{x}^(2) + 12x - 36 = 0


(x - ( - 6 + 6 √(2)) \: )(x - ( - 6 - 6 √(2)) \: ) = 0 \\


x - ( - 6 + 6 √(2) ) = 0


x = - 6 + 6 √(2)

And


x - ( - 6 - 6 √(2) ) = 0


x = - 6 - 6 √(2)

There are two solutions but none of them is what we want .

_________________________________


{x}^(2) + 36 = 0


{x}^(2) = - 36

There's no solution because square of any number is greater than or equal zero

which means :


{x}^(2) \geqslant 0

Thus x² never can be a negative number.

_________________________________


{x}^(2) - 36 = 0


(x - 6)(x + 6) = 0


x - 6 = 0


x = 6

And


x + 6 = 0


x = - 6

These are exactly the solutions what we want ;

Thus the correct answer is the last one.
