Given $f(x)$ is a probability density function it must hold that,

$\int_{- \infty }^{\infty}f(x)dx=1$

it is given that $0<x<1$ which implies $f(x)=0$ outside the given range of $x.$ Thus we have,

$\int_{0 }^{1}f(x)dx=1$

$\implies \int_{0 }^{1}cx^{2}(1-x)dx=1$

$\implies c\left \{ \int_{0}^{1}x^{2}dx -\int_{0}^{1}x^{3}dx\right \}=1$

$\implies c\left \{ \frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{4}\right \}=1$

$\implies c=12

The mean of a PDF  $\mu$=E(x)=$\int_{-\infty }^{\infty }xf(x)dx$

$E(X)=\int_{0 }^{1 }12*xx^{2}(1-x)dx$

$\qquad =12\left \{ \int_{0}^{1}x^{3}dx-\int_{0}^{1}x^{4}dx \right \}$

$\qquad =12*\left \{ \frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{5} \right \}$

$\qquad =12*\frac{1}{20}$

$\qquad =0.6$

correct answer is option C.
