We are asked to solve for the lateral area and surface area of the rectangular prism.
The given values are:
L = 12
W = 7
H = 2
Solving for the lateral area is shown below:
Lateral Area (LA) = PH where P = 2L +2W
Lateral Area (LA) = (2*12 + 2*7)*2
Lateral area (LA) = 76 m²

Solving for the surface are is shown below:
SA = LA + 2B where B=L*W
SA = 76 m² + 2*(12*7)
SA = 244 m²

The answer is the letter "A".
