To subtract the polynomials \( (6x^4 - 3x^2 + 6) - (3x^3 - 4x^2 - 4) \), we first distribute the negative sign across the second polynomial and then combine like terms.

1. **Rewrite the expression:**
\[
(6x^4 - 3x^2 + 6) - (3x^3 - 4x^2 - 4) = 6x^4 - 3x^2 + 6 - 3x^3 + 4x^2 + 4
\]

2. **Combine like terms:**
- For \(x^4\): \(6x^4\)
- For \(x^3\): \(-3x^3\)
- For \(x^2\): \(-3x^2 + 4x^2 = x^2\)
- For the constant terms: \(6 + 4 = 10\)

3. **Final combined expression:**
\[
6x^4 - 3x^3 + x^2 + 10
\]

Thus, the result of the subtraction is:
\[
6x^4 - 3x^3 + x^2 + 10
\]

This corresponds to option **A**:
\[
\text{A } 6x^4 - 3x^3 + x^2 + 10
\]
