Solve the inequality x^2 - x - 12 < 0.

A x < -3 or x > 4
B -4 < x < 3
C -3 < x < 4
D x < -4 or x > 3

✓ Correct Answer: Option C

Factor the quadratic as (x-4)(x+3) < 0. The critical points are x=-3 and x=4. Test intervals to find where the expression is negative. The interval (-3, 4) satisfies the inequality.
