Answer:  The correct option is (D) 147 sq. units.

Step-by-step explanation:  We Re given to find the area of the polygon shown in the figure.

Let us divide the given polygon in two rectangles A and B as shown in the attached figure below.

The dimensions of rectangle A are

length, l = 10 units  and  breadth, b = 3 units.

So, the area of rectangle A is given by

[tex]AREA_A=l\times b=10\times3=30~\textup{sq. units}.[/tex]

And, the dimensions of rectangle B are

length, l' = 13 units  and  breadth, b' = 12 - 3 = 9 units.

So, the area of rectangle B is given by

[tex]AREA_B=l'\times b'=13\times9=117~\textup{sq. units}.[/tex]

Therefore, the area of the polygon is

[tex]AREA=AREA_A+AREA_B=30+117=147~\textup{sq. units}.[/tex]

Thus, the required area of th given polygon is 147 sq. units.

Option (D) is CORRECT.
