Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The area model shows that the total area is the sum of the areas of the two squares (with side lengths x and 3) and the rectangle (with length x and width 3). The area of the first square is x^2, the area of the second square is 3^2=9, and the area of the rectangle is 3x. Therefore, the total area is x^2 + 9 + 3x, which simplifies to choice D: x^2 + 6x + 9.
