Answer:option B is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The formula for determining the surface area of a rectangular prism is expressed as

A = 2wl + 2lh + 2hw,

where

W is the width of the rectangular prism,

L represents the length of the rectangular prism,

h represents the height of the of the rectangular prism,

From the information given,

L = 12 inches

W = 8 inches

H = 16 inches

Surface area = (2 × 12 × 8) - (2 × 8 × 16) + (2 × 12 × 16)

= 192 + 256 + 384 = 832 inches
