Step 1: Recognize that the given differential equation is a linear homogeneous differential equation with constant coefficients: y''' + 3y'' + 3y' + y = 0.
Step 2: To solve this type of equation, start by finding the characteristic equation. Replace y, y', y'', and y''' with their corresponding terms in the characteristic equation: r^3 + 3r^2 + 3r + 1 = 0.
Step 3: Factorize the characteristic equation. Notice that (r + 1)^3 = r^3 + 3r^2 + 3r + 1, so the characteristic equation can be written as (r + 1)^3 = 0. This indicates that r = -1 is a root with multiplicity 3.
Step 4: Use the roots of the characteristic equation to construct the general solution. For a root with multiplicity 3, the solution takes the form y = (A + Bx + Cx^2)e^{rx}, where r is the root. Substituting r = -1, the solution becomes y = (A + Bx + Cx^2)e^{-x}.
Step 5: Verify that the solution matches the given options. The correct answer is y = (A + Bx + Cx^2)e^{-x}, which corresponds to the third option provided in the problem.
