Not sure the best way to approach so I just plugged in numbers.
If M = 3 then 3(3 + 4)(3+ 5) = 168; K = 168
168 is divisible by 3, 4, and 6 so it is the correct answer.
Is there a better way to go about this?

1. Let m = 3
k=m(m+4)(m+5)
So, k=3(3+4)(3+5)
Or, k=3*7*8 ( Divisible by 3 and 4 )
2. Let m = 2
k=m(m+4)(m+5)
So, k=2(2+4)(2+5)
Or, k= 2*6*7 ( Divisible by 6 )
Thus,answer must be all three of the options....
