In the formula for the surface area of a triangular prism, \( S.A. = bh + (S_1 + S_2 + S_3) \), the term \( bh \) represents the combined area of the two triangular bases. Here, \( b \) is the base length of the triangle, and \( h \) is the height of the triangular base. So, the correct answer is:
**the combined area of the two triangular bases.**
**the combined area of the two triangular bases.**
