B
(36−4)−6

Explanation:

To translate the phrase "6 less than the quotient of 36 and 4" into an expression, we need to break it down. The quotient of 36 and 4 is 9, as 36 divided by 4 equals 9. Then, we subtract 6 from this quotient. So the expression can be written as (36 - 4) - 6.
Looking at the possible answers, we can see that option A is (36 - 4) + 6, which adds 6 instead of subtracting it. Option B is (36 - 4) - 6, which correctly subtracts 6. Option C is (36 - 4) - 6, which is the same as option B. Option D is (36 - 4) + 6, which adds 6 instead of subtracting it.
Comparing options B and C, we can see that they are the same expression, so either one could be correct. However, we need to choose only one answer. Therefore, the correct answer is B, which is (36 - 4) - 6.
