Which answer best explains why the “divide each side by $$x$$ step” is unacceptable?

When you divide both sides of $$2x = 6x$$ by $$x$$ it could lead us to think that there is no solution while in fact the solution is $$x = 0$$ .

When you divide both sides of $$2x = 6x$$ by $$x$$ you get $$2x^2 = 6x^2$$ .

When you divide both sides of $$2x = 6x$$ by $$x$$ you get $$2 = 6x$$ .

When you divide both sides of $$2x = 6x$$ by $$x$$ it could lead us to think that there is no solution while in fact the solution is $$x = 3$$ .
