To solve the equation \( 3x^2 - 27x = 0 \), we can factor out the common term:

  1. Factor out \( 3x \): \[ 3x(x - 9) = 0 \]

  2. Set each factor equal to zero: \[ 3x = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad x - 9 = 0 \]

  3. Solve each equation:

    • From \( 3x = 0 \): \[ x = 0 \]
    • From \( x - 9 = 0 \): \[ x = 9 \]

Thus, the solutions to the equation \( 3x^2 - 27x = 0 \) are \( x = 0 \) and \( x = 9 \).

Among the provided options, the correct one is:

0 and 9.
