To calculate the volume of Nicol's rectangular pyramid slice, we can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular pyramid:
\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \times \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height}
\]
In this case, the base area can be calculated as follows:
1. **Base Length**: 1012 inches
2. **Base Width**: 1 inch
3. **Height**: 8 inches
The base area \(A\) is:
\[
A = \text{Base Length} \times \text{Base Width} = 1012 \times 1 = 1012 \, \text{in}^2
\]
Now, we can calculate the volume \(V\) using the formula:
\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \times 1012 \times 8
\]
Calculating that gives:
\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \times 8096 = 2698.67 \, \text{in}^3
\]
However, none of the given choices match this value. Let's reassess the volume calculation more carefully to see if there was a misunderstanding or oversight in the parameters.
**Adjusting Based on Parameters Given**:
If this slice was incorrectly interpreted, for example, if it is meant to imply a different arrangement or dimensions, reconfirm those numbers or reconsider how they might relate to the slice dimensions provided.
**Closest Approximation:**
Assuming the numbers of the choices provided are intended for simpler calculations such as broader estimations or categorically probable shapes, we should align to the rounding requested in the options.
