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

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

2. Distribute the negative sign:
\[
6x^4 - 3x^2 + 6 - 3x^3 + 4x^2 + 4
\]

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

Putting it all together, we have:
\[
6x^4 - 3x^3 + x^2 + 10
\]

The final result is:
\[
6x^4 - 3x^3 + x^2 + 10
\]

Now, looking at the options provided:

**A:** \(6x^4 - 3x^3 + x^2 + 10\)

This matches our result.

Therefore, the answer is **A**.
