We can divide the figure into two parts: a rectangle with dimensions 6 inches by 2 inches, and a right triangle with base 4 inches and height 4 inches.
The area of the rectangle is 6 x 2 = 12 square inches.
The area of the triangle is 1/2 x base x height = 1/2 x 4 x 4 = 8 square inches.
Therefore, the total area of the figure is 12 + 8 = 20 square inches.
None of the given options match the correct answer, so we can conclude that the question may be faulty.
