The surface area of a cube can be found by calculating the area of each side and then summing them up.
Since all sides of the crate are 0.8 m long, each side has an area of (0.8 m)(0.8 m) = 0.64 m².
Since a cube has 6 sides, the total surface area of the crate is 6 * 0.64 m² = 3.84 m².
None of the given options match this answer, therefore, none of the given options is correct.
