To find the total surface area of a cube, we need to calculate the area of all 6 sides.
Each side of the cube is a square, so the area of one side is 8 cm * 8 cm = 64 cm^2.
Since there are 6 sides, the total surface area of the cube is 6 * 64 cm^2 = 384 cm^2.
Therefore, the correct answer is E. 384 centimeters squared.
