B Correct answer
Explanation

A closed box made by steel with uniform thickness length 12 dm ,breath  10 dm and 8 dm and thickness  of steel is 1 dm

Then inner length =12-2=10 dm ,breadth=10-2=8 dm and height=8-2=6 dm 
So surface area of box=$2(lw+wh+lh)=2(10\times 8)+(8\times 6)+(10\times 6)=2(80+48+60)=2\times 188=376 dm ^{2}$
