Detailed Solution & Explanation

Let us analyze the literal printed question and the likely intended function:

**1. Literal Evaluation of the Printed Question:**
Given the function:
f(x)=3x2+2xf(x) = 3x^2 + 2x
We substitute x=2\displaystyle x = 2 into the expression:
f(2)=3(2)2+2(2)=3(4)+4=12+4=16f(2) = 3(2)^2 + 2(2) = 3(4) + 4 = 12 + 4 = 16
Since 16\displaystyle 16 is not among the options (a) 8, (b) 10, or (c) 12, the mathematically correct option for the printed text is **Option D** (None of these).

**2. Source of Discrepancy & Typographical Error:**
The function contains a typographical printing error where a prefix '3\displaystyle 3' was added to x2\displaystyle x^2. The intended function was:
f(x)=x2+2xf(x) = x^2 + 2x
Let's evaluate the intended function at x=2\displaystyle x = 2:
f(2)=(2)2+2(2)=4+4=8f(2) = (2)^2 + 2(2) = 4 + 4 = 8
This matches **Option A** (8) perfectly, which explains why the answer key designated Option A as correct.

Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer (according to the textbook key and the intended function), but the literal mathematical result for the printed text is 16\displaystyle 16, which would correspond to **Option D**.
