Solution

The correct option is C $6$
When $x < - 3$
$- x - 3 = x^{2} - 4 x - 3 \Rightarrow x^{2} - 3 x = 0$
$\Rightarrow x (x - 3) = 0$
$\Rightarrow x = 0, 3 (Not possible)$

When $x \geq - 3$
$x + 3 = x^{2} - 4 x - 3$
$\Rightarrow x^{2} - 5 x - 6 = 0$
$\Rightarrow (x - 6) (x + 1) = 0 \Rightarrow x = 6, - 1$

$∴ x = - 1, 6$
