To multiply these numbers, you should follow the regular multiplication process: multiply each digit in the bottom number by each digit in the top number, starting from the right and working left. Add the resulting products together and carry over any necessary values.

When you do this, you should arrive at the answer of 3,468,596. Therefore, choice C is the correct answer. Since we are multiplying two numbers in base 16, we need to treat each digit as a separate number and then add them up. 
First, we multiply 6 by 11 (66 in base 16) and write down 6 as the rightmost digit and carry over the 6 to the next column. 
Next, we multiply d by 6 and add the carry-over from the previous column, which gives us 7a. We write down a as the second digit and carry over the 7 to the next column. 
We repeat this process for each digit, adding any carry-overs as we go along. Finally, we get 3,468,596 as the answer in base 10. When converted back to base 16, it gives us choice C (3,468,596).
