Answer:

<em>The correct option is:  c. Prime</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is:   x^2 -8x-12

First we will take each given option and simplify them using FOIL method to see if we get the original given expression. So.....

a.\ \ \ (x-6)(x+2)\\ \\ =x^2+2x-6x-12\\ \\ =x^2-4x-12\\ \\ \\ b.\ \ \ (x+3)(x-4)\\ \\ =x^2-4x+3x-12\\ \\ =x^2-x-12\\ \\ \\ d.\ \ \ (x+6)(x-2)\\ \\ =x^2-2x+6x-12\\ \\ =x^2+4x-12

We can see that options a, b\ and\ d doesn't give the original given expression.

So, the expression x^2 -8x-12 is Prime.
