The question in the image asks to "Write the expression as a single logarithm with coefficient 1" and provides the following expression:

\[
(\log_a q - \log_a r) + 6\log_a p
\]

We need to simplify this expression using logarithmic properties to combine it into a single logarithm.

### Step-by-step simplification:
1. **Subtraction Rule (Quotient Rule)**: 
   \[
   \log_a q - \log_a r = \log_a \left( \frac{q}{r} \right)
   \]

2. **Multiplication Rule (Power Rule)**: 
   The term \( 6 \log_a p \) can be rewritten using the power rule as:
   \[
   6 \log_a p = \log_a (p^6)
   \]

3. **Combine the two terms**: 
   Now we add the two logarithmic terms:
   \[
   \log_a \left( \frac{q}{r} \right) + \log_a (p^6)
   \]
   Using the addition rule (product rule), this becomes:
   \[
   \log_a \left( \frac{q}{r} \cdot p^6 \right)
   \]
   Simplifying:
   \[
   \log_a \left( \frac{q p^6}{r} \right)
   \]

So, the expression simplifies to:

\[
\log_a \left( \frac{q p^6}{r} \right)
\]

### Correct Answer:
The correct option is **D: \(\log_a \left( \frac{6qp}{r} \right)\)**.
