(x - √3)(x + 4√3) = 0
x² + (3√3)x - 12 = 0

If the solutions of a quadratic are a and b then the quadratic must be (x - a)(x - b) = x^2 -(a + b)x + ab.
So your quadratic is (x - sqrt(3))(x + 4sqrt(3)) =
x^2 + (4sqrt(3) - sqrt(3))x - (4sqrt(3))(sqrt(3)) =
x^2 + 3sqrt(3)x - (4)(3) = x^2 + 3sqrt(3) - 12

(a) is the correct answer.
