The correct answer is 48 square units.
To find the area of the figure, we need to break it down into two rectangles: one with dimensions 6 units by 6 units, and one with dimensions 4 units by 4 units.
The area of the first rectangle is 6 x 6 = 36 square units.
The area of the second rectangle is 4 x 4 = 16 square units.
Adding the two areas together, we get 36 + 16 = 48 square units.
