1. The problem asks to simplify the expression $3t \cdot 3(-t)$.
2. The expression involves multiplication of terms. Recall the rule: when multiplying, multiply coefficients (numbers) and variables separately.
3. Multiply the coefficients: $3 \times 3 = 9$.
4. Multiply the variables: $t \times (-t) = -t^2$.
5. Combine the results: $9 \times (-t^2) = -9t^2$.
6. The simplified expression is $-9t^2$.
7. Since the options are numbers and the expression depends on $t$, none of the options match the simplified expression exactly. However, if $t=1$, then $-9t^2 = -9$, which is not among the options either.
8. Therefore, none of the given options A, B, C, or D correctly represent the simplified expression $3t \cdot 3(-t)$.
