If you want the answer by nodal analysis,
See that the 18 we source is coming in front of 24 we source because in between their path no element is connected.
So while writing kcl we have [ 24 - 18 ] = 6 we source above the 1.2k resistor.
By that you solve and will get the answer as 1.8 mA.
Answer can also be given by source transformation technique.
Try it once also interesting to analyse the circuit.

The answer that I've got is 0.769mA using the superposition theorem.

So is R2 or R3. the diagram is so misleading. does the VS1 connected to ground or just R3?

Use mesh analysis:
Create two loops then apply KVL we get 2 equations
Loop1; (1.2k)(I1)+(1.2k)(I1+I2)=24
Loop2: (1.2k)(I2)+(1.2k)(I1+I2)=-18
Rearrange these two equations
then find Whole Deterimnent which i found
=4.32k^2
use cramer Rule
I1=18.35mA
and I2=16.6mA
now therefore current through 1.2kohm Resistor is
I1+I2=18.35-16.6
=1.75mA
So Answer D is correct.

We apply the kirchoff current law
(V-24/1.2)+(V+18/1.2)+(V/3.3)=0
we get V=2.55Mv
I=V/R=(2.55/3.3)=0.77mA
(V-24/1.2)+(V+18/1.2)+(V/3.3)=0
we get V=2.55Mv
I=V/R=(2.55/3.3)=0.77mA

The answer I'm getting is 0.77mA.
Can anyone explain it - How do they get the answer 1.8mA ?

You are right Beth Tate.

If you do the node analysis on this problem, you get your current to be .769 mA. By splitting the above circuit into two sections with 2 diffferent currents, you also get .769 mA. How do you come to get the answer 1.8 mA ?
