D

Explanation

To find \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) for the function \(y = 2x^3 + 6x^2 + 6x + 1\), we need to differentiate each term of the function with respect to x.The derivative of \(2x^3\) with respect to x is \(6x^2\), the derivative of \(6x^2\) with respect to x is \(12x\), the derivative of \(6x\) with respect to x is \(6\), and the derivative of the constant term \(1\) is \(0\).Therefore, \(\frac{dy}{dx} = 6x^2 + 12x + 6\).
