To find the total surface area of the figure, we need more information about Figure 1. Given that the dimensions 2.4 and 6.9 are provided, we'll assume the figure is a rectangular prism (box) with those dimensions being its height and the base dimensions. However, we need all three dimensions to calculate the total surface area of a rectangular prism.

Let's assume the third dimension is provided or can be inferred – let's denote this dimension as \( h \).

For a rectangular prism, the total surface area \( SA \) is given by:

\[ SA = 2(w \times l + l \times h + h \times w) \]

where:
- \( w \) is the width,
- \( l \) is the length,
- \( h \) is the height.

We'll proceed by substituting the given values.

Assuming the dimensions provided are \( w = 2.4 \) and \( l = 6.9 \), and let's assume \( h \) also needs to be 6.9 to match one of the provided answer choices.

\[ SA = 2(2.4 \times 6.9 + 6.9 \times 6.9 + 6.9 \times 2.4) \]

First, calculate the individual areas:
\[ A1 = 2.4 \times 6.9 = 16.56 \]
\[ A2 = 6.9 \times 6.9 = 47.61 \]
\[ A3 = 6.9 \times 2.4 = 16.56 \]

Now, add these areas together:
\[ Total Area = 16.56 + 47.61 + 16.56 = 80.73 \]

Then multiply by 2 (since there are two of each rectangular face):
\[ SA = 2 \times 80.73 = 161.46 \]

Since none of the provided answer choices match this value, it may suggest one or more assumptions about the figure's dimensions are incorrect.

However, if we instead assume it's a simple 2D rectangle (even though the question asks for surface area, implying a 3D object):

\[ Area = w \times l = 2.4 \times 6.9 = 16.56 \]
Again, this calculation of a simple area does not fit any provided options.

Because information about the exact nature of Figure 1 is missing or misinterpreted, none of the answer choices are verifiable. We would need clarification on the dimensions or type of figure to correctly determine the total surface area.
