=>
\(\left(\sqrt{x^2+9}+\sqrt{x^2-3}\right)\left(\sqrt{x^2+9}-\sqrt{x^2-3}\right)\)
\(=\left(\sqrt{x^2+9}\right)\left(\sqrt{x^2+9}\right)-\left(\sqrt{x^2+9}\right)\left(\sqrt{x^2-3}\right)+\left(\sqrt{x^2-3}\right)\left(\sqrt{x^2+9}\right)-\left(\sqrt{x^2-3}\right)\left(\sqrt{x^2-3}\right)\) (by multiplying the 2 binomials)
= \(\left(x^2+9\right)-\left(x^2-3\right)\) (by simplifying)
= \(x^2+9-x^2-3\) (by multiplying -1 through the second bracket)
= 12

Then we have \(6\left(\sqrt{x^2+9}-\sqrt{x^2-3}\right)=12\) or \(\sqrt{x^2+9}-\sqrt{x^2-3}=2\) .

Therefore, B is the answer.
Answer: B
