Marisol grouped the terms and factored the GCF out of the groups of the polynomial 6x3 – 22x2 – 9x + 33. Her work is shown.Step 1: (6x3 – 22x2) – (9x + 33)Step 2: 2x2(3x – 11) – 3(3x + 11)

A
Marisol should realize that her work shows that the polynomial is prime.
B
Marisol should go back and group the terms in Step 1 as (6x3 – 22x2) – (9x – 33).
C
Marisol should go back and group the terms in Step 1 as (6x3 – 22x2) + (9x – 33).
D
Marisol should refactor the expression in Step 2 as 2x2(3x + 11) – 3(3x + 11).
