The surface area of a rectangular prism can be calculated by adding the areas of all six faces.
In this case, the net provided shows that there are 6 faces, with 3 pairs of identical faces. One pair of identical faces has an area of 26, so the total combined area of the two pairs is 52. The last pair of identical faces also has an area of 52.
Adding all 3 pairs of identical faces together, we get: 52 + 52 + 52 = 156.
Therefore, the total surface area of the rectangular prism is 156.
So, the answer is not provided in the options given.
