Answer:

The answer is B. Volume

Explanation:

Finding the area of the tank would only show the size of one of the panals. The perimater is the length around one of the side panels of the tank. Lateral area is simmiler to the surface area, howerver it excludes the base and top. Volume is the only answer choice that calculates how much water will fill the tank. Volume can be found by multiplying the base multiplyed my the length multiplyed by the hight.
