To convert the scale drawing from a scale factor of 1 box = 6 inches to a scale factor of 1 box = 12 inches, we need to double the length of each box in the scale drawing. Since the length in the scale drawing is 10 boxes, the new length will be 10 x 2 = <<10*2=20>>20 inches.
Therefore, the length of the boxes in the new drawing will be 20 inches.
The correct answer is B. 20.
