A) $3 ( y - 8 ) ^ { 2 } ( 2 y + 1 )$
B) $3 \left( 2 y ( y - 8 ) ^ { 2 } + 1 ( y - 8 ) ^ { 2 } \right)$
C) $( y - 8 ) ^ { 2 } ( 6 y + 3 )$
D) $6 \left( ( y - 8 ) ^ { 2 } + 1 ( y - 8 ) ^ { 2 } \right)$

The greatest common factor (GCF) of the two terms is $3(y-8)^2$. Factoring this out, we are left with $2y$ from the first term and $1$ from the second term, giving $3(y-8)^2(2y+1)$.
