To find the volume of a composite figure, we need to break down the figure into simpler shapes and then find the volume of each shape separately.

We see that the composite figure consists of a rectangular prism and a pyramid attached to the rectangular base.

The volume of the rectangular prism can be calculated using the formula:

Volume = length x width x height

Given that the dimensions of the rectangular prism are:
Length = 8 cm
Width = 7 cm
Height = 11 cm

Volume of the rectangular prism = 8 cm x 7 cm x 11 cm
Volume of the rectangular prism = 616 cm^3

Next, the volume of the pyramid can be calculated using the formula:

Volume = 1/3 x base area x height

The base of the pyramid is a rectangle with dimensions 8 cm x 7 cm. The area of the base can be calculated as:

Base Area = length x width
Base Area = 8 cm x 7 cm
Base Area = 56 cm^2

Given that the height of the pyramid is 4 cm.

Volume of the pyramid = 1/3 x 56 cm^2 x 4 cm
Volume of the pyramid = 75.33 cm^3

Therefore, the total volume of the composite figure is:
Total Volume = Volume of rectangular prism + Volume of pyramid
Total Volume = 616 cm^3 + 75.33 cm^3
Total Volume = 691.33 cm^3

Therefore, the correct answer is not provided in the options.
