C Correct answer
Explanation

Volume of cube = s^3 = 216, so s = 6. Lateral surface area = 4 * s^2 = 4 * 36 = 144.

AI explanation

Using the formula for the volume of a cube, we write 216 = side^3, which gives a side length of 6 units. The lateral surface area of a cube is calculated as 4 times side^2, so we compute 4 times 6 times 6 to get 144 square units. The correct answer is 144.
