Try the D answer. By the way, since these all seem to be multiple choice, you don't actually have to factor them. You can just multiply out the four multiple choice answers, and see which one gives you the problem you are supposed to factor.

Multiply out D)
(b-3a)(b+2a)
b^2 +2ab-3ab-6a^2
b^2 -ab -6a^2
