Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

x = \(-\frac{2}{3}\) and \(-\frac{1}{4}\)

\(\implies (x + \frac{2}{3}) = 0; (x + \frac{1}{4}) = 0\)

\((x + \frac{2}{3})(x + \frac{1}{4}) = 0\)

\(x^{2} + \frac{1}{4}x + \frac{2}{3}x + \frac{1}{6} = 0\)

\(x^2 + \frac{11}{12}x + \frac{1}{6} = 0\)

\(12x^2 + 11x + 2 = 0\)
