C Correct answer
Explanation

Lateral surface area of a regular hexagonal prism = Perimeter of base * height. Perimeter = 6 * 13 = 78 cm. Area = 78 * 17 = 1326 cm^2.

AI explanation

The lateral surface area of a regular hexagonal prism is calculated by multiplying the perimeter of the base by the height of the prism. The perimeter of the hexagonal base is 6 times 13 cm, which equals 78 cm. Multiplying this perimeter by the given height of 17 cm gives an area of 1326 cm².
