A. 24
the answer is a 24 Method
 The LCM of 6 and 8 is 24, which is the multiple of the highest power of all prime factors from both numbers
6 = 2 x 3
8 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 23 x 3
Highest multiple of 2 = 23 = 8
Highest multiple of 3 = 3

(23 x 3 = 8 x 3 = 24).

6 multiples- 6, 12, 18, 24
8 multiples- 8, 16, 24
The LCM of 8 and 6 is 24.
