Explanation:

first of all, your teacher wrote nonsense in the answer options : an area is always given in squared units. never in cubed units (which would be volume).

the area is : 1/2 × perimeter × apothem

the perimeter is simply 12 × 5 = 60 meters.

apothem = (a/2)×cot(pi/12) = 5/2 × cot(pi/12) =

= 9.330127019... meters

so the area is

1/2 × 60 × 9.330127019... = 279.9038106... m²

therefore, the third answer option is correct (although it is m², and not m³).

by the way, you have question 3 wrong. I answered this with the correct apothem calculation in the explanation for question 4.
