To multiply \(2 \times 4 \times (-6)\) step by step, we can choose a systematic approach:

1. First, calculate \(4 \times (-6)\):
\[
4 \times (-6) = -24
\]

2. Then, multiply that result by \(2\):
\[
2 \times (-24) = -48
\]

So, the correct multiplication sequence is:

\[
2 \times [4 \times (-6)] = 2 \times (-24) = -48
\]

Based on the options provided, the correct answer would show:

\(2 \times [4 \times (-6)]\) leading to \(2 \times (-24) = -48\).

Thus, the answer would be:

**2 × [4 × (-6)] = 2 × (-24) = -48.**

However, it seems all responses contain repetitions or errors. The closest matches among the options you've provided would be:

**2 × [4 × (-6)] and 2 × (-24) = -48.**

So you can select that option if it captures the steps correctly.
