To use the Distributive Property and factor the expression \( 4x^3 + 8x^2 + 12x \), we can first factor out the common factor, which is \( 4x \):

\[
4x^3 + 8x^2 + 12x = 4x(x^2 + 2x + 3)
\]

Now, let's look at the options provided. The expression \( 4x(x^2 + 2x + 3) \) corresponds to the second choice:

**4x(x² + 2x + 3)**

Therefore, the correct answer is:

**4x(x² + 2x + 3)**.
