Answer

Not defined.

Work Step by Step

If the dimensions of matrix A are $a\times b$ and the dimensions of matrix C are $c\times d$, then AC is defined if $b=c$ and then AC has dimensions $a\times d.$. Hence here the requirement is not satisfied, because $3\ne2$. Thus the operation is not defined.
