Let $$ u=\sqrt{x}+6 $$. Notice that

$$
\frac{d}{dx}\sqrt{x}=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}},
$$

so differentiating $$ u $$ with respect to $$ x $$ we have

$$
\frac{du}{dx}=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}},
$$

which implies

$$
du=\frac{dx}{2\sqrt{x}} \quad \Longrightarrow \quad dx=2\sqrt{x}\,du.
$$

Substituting into the original integral

$$
\int \frac{(\sqrt{x}+6)^8}{2\sqrt{x}}\,dx,
$$

we replace $$(\sqrt{x}+6)^8$$ with $$u^8$$ and $$dx=2\sqrt{x}\,du$$:

$$
\int \frac{u^8}{2\sqrt{x}} \times 2\sqrt{x}\,du = \int u^8\,du.
$$

This shows that option D, $$ u=\sqrt{x}+6 $$, is the correct substitution.

Now, evaluating the integral:

$$
\int u^8\,du=\frac{u^9}{9}+C.
$$

Substituting back $$ u=\sqrt{x}+6 $$, we obtain

$$
\frac{(\sqrt{x}+6)^9}{9}+C.
$$

Thus, the evaluated integral is

$$
\int \frac{(\sqrt{x}+6)^8}{2\sqrt{x}}\,dx=\frac{(\sqrt{x}+6)^9}{9}+C.
$$
Let $$ u = \sqrt{x} + 6 $$. Then, the integral becomes $$ \int u^8 \, du $$, which evaluates to $$ \frac{u^9}{9} + C $$. Substituting back, the answer is $$ \frac{(\sqrt{x}+6)^9}{9} + C $$.
