It has been given that the set has three consecutive integers.

Let the integers be 1,2,3
Median(x) = 2
Product of the three numbers is 1*2*3 = 6

Evaluating the answer options
\(x^3 – x\) = 2^3 - 2 = 8 - 2 = 6
Of the available answer options, Only Option E has the same value as the product.

Note : For a set with an odd number of integers(arranged in the ascending order), the median is the number which lies at the center.
In a set with an even number of integers, the median is the average of the 2 numbers at the center of the set arranged in ascending order.
