The first step to solving this is to factor out the first perfect square

now factor out the second perfect square

then factor out the second perfect square 

the root of a product is equal to the product of the roots of each factor
 
  
  
 
reduce the index of the radical and exponent with 2 of the first square root
12
 
  
 
reduce the index of the radical and exponent with 2 of the second square root
12x³
 
 
reduce the index of the radical and exponent with 2 of the third square root
12x³y²

this means that the correct answer to your question is 12x³y²
