The volume of a rectangular prism is calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height. In this case, the prism is made up of 12 cubes, so the volume would be 12 cubes * the volume of each cube. Each cube has an edge length of 12 inches, so the volume of each cube is 12^3 = 1728 cubic inches. Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism would be 12 * 1728 = 20736 cubic inches.
Therefore, the correct answer is 20736 cubic inches.
