A) $- 3 , - 1,1$, and 3
B) $- 3$ and 3
C) $- 6$ and 6
D) $- 6 , - 1,1$, and 6
E) No zeros exist.

To find the zeros of the function, set $f(t)=0$ and solve for $t$:
$$\frac{1}{6}t^4-\frac{27}{2}=0$$
$$t^4=81$$
$$t=\pm 3$$
Therefore, the zeros of the function are $-3$ and $3$, which is only found in option B.
