To find the volume of a rectangular box (or purse in this case), you use the formula:

\[
\text{Volume} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height}
\]

Given:
- Length = 12 cm
- Width = 5.8 cm
- Height = 10 cm

Now, we can calculate the volume:

\[
\text{Volume} = 12 \, \text{cm} \times 5.8 \, \text{cm} \times 10 \, \text{cm}
\]

Calculating step by step:

1. Calculate \(12 \times 5.8\):
\[
12 \times 5.8 = 69.6
\]

2. Now multiply \(69.6 \times 10\):
\[
69.6 \times 10 = 696
\]

So, the volume of the purse is \(696 \, \text{cm}^3\).

The correct answer is **C. 696 cm³**.
