Final Answer : C, Explanation :  The Zero-Factor Property states that if the product of two factors is equal to zero, then at least one of the factors must be zero. In this case, we have x(x + 6) = 0, which means that either x = 0 or x + 6 = 0. Solving for x, we get x = 0 or x = -6. Therefore, the correct answer is C, because it includes both solutions.
