Answer:

A. is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

sqrt3*sqrt12 can be rewritten as √3·√12, which can be extended to

√3·√3·√4.

Note that √4 = 2 and that (√3)^2 = 3,

so the final result is 2*3, or 6 (a rational number).

A. is correct:  √3 and √12 are both irrational, but their product is rational.
