B Correct answer
Explanation

Internal radius r = 12 cm, thickness = 0.5 cm, so external radius R = 12.5 cm. For hollow hemisphere: Total surface area = Outer curved surface + Inner curved surface + Ring area at top = 2πR² + 2πr² + π(R² - r²) = 2π(12.5)² + 2π(12)² + π((12.5)² - 12²) = 2π(156.25) + 2π(144) + π(156.25 - 144) = 312.5π + 288π + 12.25π = 612.75π cm².
