Answer:

(c)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a quadratic equation in standard form

ax² + bx + c = 0

Then the product of the roots = [tex]\frac{c}{a}[/tex]

(k - 2)x² - 6x + 12 = 0 ← is in standard form

with a = k - 2 and c = 12 , thus

[tex]\frac{12}{k-2}[/tex] = 3 ( multiply both sides by (k - 1) )

12 = 3(k - 2) = 3k - 6 ( add 6 to both sides )

18 = 3k ( divide both sides by 3 )

6 = k → (c)
