The volume of a rectangular pyramid can be calculated using the formula V = (1/3) * Base Area * Height. In this case, the base is a square with a side length of 12 meters, so the base area is 12 * 12 = 144 square meters. The height is 10 meters.
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular pyramid is V = (1/3) * 144 * 10 = 480 cubic meters.
So, the correct answer is 480 m3.
