Factor the greatest common factor from the polynomial. Assume any variable exponents represent whole numbers.
-$$6 x ^ { 9 } + 4 x ^ { 4 } - 10 x ^ { 2 }$$
A) $2 \left( 3 x ^ { 9 } + 2 x ^ { 4 } - 5 x ^ { 2 } \right)$
B) $2 x ^ { 2 } \left( 3 x ^ { 7 } + 2 x ^ { 2 } - 5 \right)$
C) $x ^ { 2 } \left( 6 x ^ { 7 } + 4 x ^ { 2 } - 10 \right)$
D) No common factor
