In order to calculate the volume of a pyramid, we can use the formula below:

$V=(1)/(3)A\cdot h$

Where A is the base area and h is the height.

Since the base is a square, the area is the side length squared:

$A=12^2=144\text{ m^^b2}$

Now, calculating the volume, we have:

$\begin{gathered} V=(1)/(3)\cdot144\cdot5\\ \\ V=240\text{ m^^b3} \end{gathered}$

Therefore the correct option is A.
