Let's find the area of the base.

It's a rectangle that's 3.8 by 4.8, so let's multiply.
3.8×4.8=18.24

We have two different triangles.
Triangle one has a height of 2.6 and base of 4.8. But there are two of them.
2.6×4.8×0.5=6.24×2= 12.48; this is the area of two triangles.

Another set of triangles has a height of 2.9 and a base of 3.8.
2.9×3.8×0.5=5.51×2=11.02

Let's add all the areas together.
18.24+12.48+11.02
41.74

The surface area is 41.74 m², so the third option.
