The figure appears to be comprised of two squares. One square has a side length of 6 units, and the other square has a side length of 4 units.

To find the total area of the figure, we can calculate the area of each square and add them together.

Area of the first square = 6 units x 6 units = 36 square units
Area of the second square = 4 units x 4 units = 16 square units

Total area = 36 square units + 16 square units = 52 square units

Therefore, the correct answer is not listed, as the area of the figure is actually 52 square units.
