D. (x+1)(3x-2)(x-2)

The values are the result of setting the factors equal to 0. They are opposite to the values given
so if (x+1)=0, a zero is -1.
x-(2/3)=0, or x=2/3 or 3x+2=0.
(x-2)=0
D is the answer. We don't use fractions in factorization, so while (x-(2/3)) is not mathematically wrong, (3x-2) is the factor.
