The 'base' of a rectangular prism refers to only one side of the rectangular prism, which is a rectangle.
The formula for the area of a rectangle is as follows:

Where A = area, l = length, and w = width.
The 'base' of a cylinder refers to only one side of the cylinder, which is a circle.
The formula for the area of a circle is as follows:

Where A = area and r = radius.
Just in case you typed your question incorrectly and were asking for surface area, here is the formula for surface area for both as well:
Rectangular prism: 
Cylinder: 
Answer:
3 and 4 are factors of 12 so they should be multiplied to get a product of 12 ab. (Answer D)
Step-by-step explanation:
You do not multiply in addition unless an exponent is present. You should not multiply or add considering these are not like terms. Therefore, D is wrong.
A=1 and 2
B=2 and 4
C=1,2,7 and 14
D=1,2,4,and 8
