(D) Given the curve equation: $y^3 + 3x^2 = 12y$. Differentiating both sides with respect to $x$: $3y^2 \frac{dy}{dx} + 6x = 12 \frac{dy}{dx}$. Rearranging to find $\frac{dy}{dx}$: $\frac{dy}{dx}(3y^2 - 12) = -6x \implies \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-6x}{3y^2 - 12} = \frac{2x}{4 - y^2}$. For the tangent to be vertical (parallel to the $y$-axis),the slope $\frac{dy}{dx}$ must be undefined,which occurs when the denominator is zero: $4 - y^2 = 0 \implies y^2 = 4 \implies y = \pm 2$. Case $1$: If $y = 2$,then $2^3 + 3x^2 = 12(2) \implies 8 + 3x^2 = 24 \implies 3x^2 = 16 \implies x^2 = \frac{16}{3} \implies x = \pm \frac{4}{\sqrt{3}}$. Case $2$: If $y = -2$,then $(-2)^3 + 3x^2 = 12(-2) \implies -8 + 3x^2 = -24 \implies 3x^2 = -16$,which has no real solution for $x$. Thus,the points are $\left( \pm \frac{4}{\sqrt{3}}, 2 \right)$.

The point$(s)$ on the curve $y^3 + 3x^2 = 12y$ where the tangent is vertical (parallel to $y$-axis) is (are):
