Answer: 96 cubic feet (choice D)

=======================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangular face has area of base*height/2 = 8*2/2 = 16/2 = 8 square feet.

Multiply this with the depth of the prism to get 8*12 = 96 cubic feet

----------

For any prism, the volume formula is

V = (area of base)*(depth of prism)

The term "depth" can be replaced with "height" and it's the same idea.

In this problem, we have a triangular prism because the parallel sides are triangles.
