To expand \( 13(q - 6) \) using the Distributive Property, we multiply 13 by each term inside the parentheses:

\[ 13(q - 6) = 13 \cdot q + 13 \cdot (-6) \]

This simplifies to:

\[ 13q - 78 \]

However, this result is not listed in your response options.

The available options appear to be incorrect based on the expansion of \( 13(q - 6) \). Please double-check the problem and options provided.
