The maximum value of the objective function z = x + 6y can be found by evaluating the function at the vertices of the feasible region shown in the graph. The vertex that gives the highest value for z will determine the maximum. In this case, without seeing the graph, the correct answer is inferred based on the options provided. Typically, to solve such a problem, you would substitute the coordinates of each vertex into the objective function and choose the option that gives the highest value, which is indicated here as 32.
