102 cm³

128 cm³

112 cm³

To find the volume of the box:

- The original square cardboard has a side of 12 cm.

- A 2 cm square is cut from each corner, leaving the box height at 2 cm.

- The side of the base of the box is reduced by 2 x 2 cm from each side, resulting in (12 - 4) = 8 cm.

Calculation of volume:

- Volume = 128 cm³

- Correct option: 3, 128 cm³
