Answer:

D, the last prism, with a volume of 512cm^3

Explanation:

A: 5 x 7 x 12 = 420

B: 8.5 x 11 x 3 = 280.5

C: 3 x 13 x 11 = 429

D: 8 x 8 x 8 = 512

512 is the biggest. D.

Please let me know if I mis-read any of the numbers - it's quite hard to see.

If you need further explanation, let me know!
