Question Analysis
This question tests the ability to factor polynomials by using the Greatest Common Factor (GCF). It requires students to identify the GCF and then factor it out from each term in the polynomial.

Key Concept Explanation
The GCF of a polynomial is the largest expression that divides evenly into each term of the polynomial. Factoring out the GCF simplifies the polynomial and makes it easier to work with.

Step-by-step Solution
1. Identify the GCF of the terms , , and .
2. The GCF of the coefficients 48, -60, and 24 is 12, and the GCF of the variable parts , , and is . Therefore, the GCF is
