A
12 cm
B

C
11 cm
D
14 cm
To find the width of the rectangle, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle:
Area = Length x Width
We are given that the area is 192 square centimeters and the length is 16 cm.
To find the width, we can divide the area by the length:
Width = Area / Length
Width = 192 cm^2 / 16 cm
Width = 12 cm
Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 12 cm.
The correct answer is A) 12 cm.
