Explanation

The feasible region is in the first quadrant, between the lines x + 3y = 6 and 4x + 6y = 9. On the y-axis, setting x = 0 gives y = 2 and y = 3/2, so the vertices there are (0, 2) and (0, 3/2). On the x-axis, setting y = 0 gives x = 6 and x = 9/4, so the other vertices are (6, 0) and (9/4, 0). These are the points listed in choice A.
