Solution

The correct option is C 6 faces, 12 edges, and 8 vertices
The wall is made of bricks which are cuboidal in shape. We know the following details about a cuboid:


Cuboids have 6 flat faces. Each of them is rectangular in shape.

There are a total of 12 edges in a cuboid that connect all the vertices.

From the three-dimensional analysis, a cuboid has 8 vertices.

Hence, we can conclude that one brick has 6 faces, 12 edges, and 8 vertices.
