To find the area of a rectangular prism, you need to find the surface area of all six faces.

The formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism is:
2lw + 2lh + 2wh

Given:
l = 2/7
w = 1/3
h = 1/7

Substitute these values into the formula:
2(2/7)(1/3) + 2(2/7)(1/7) + 2(1/3)(1/7)
(4/21) + (4/49) + (2/21)
LCD = 147
28/147 + 12/147 + 20/147
60/147
Area = 60/147 = 20/49

Therefore, the area of the rectangular prism is 20/49.
4/17 in^3
4/10 in^3
2/17 in^2
2/147 in ^3

It seems like the given options are volume measurements and areas, not surface areas.

The question asks for the area of a rectangular prism, which would be in square inches (in^2), not in cubic inches (in^3). The possible answers provided do not align with the question.

Since we are calculating the area, the correct answer should be in square units, not cubic units. Therefore, none of the options provided seems to be the correct answer.

I apologize for the confusion. Thank you for providing the options.

Based on the previous calculation, we found that the area of the rectangular prism with dimensions l = 2/7, w = 1/3, and h = 1/7 is 20/49 in^2.

Among the provided options:
- 4/17 in^3 is a volume measurement, not an area measurement.
- 4/10 in^3 is a volume measurement, not an area measurement.
- 2/17 in^2 is an area measurement in square inches, but it does not match the calculated value of 20/49 in^2.
- 2/147 in^3 is a volume measurement, not an area measurement.

None of the provided options match the calculated area of the rectangular prism. The correct area calculated was 20/49 in^2.
