The shape of "Cubical block of wood" is a CUBE.
A cube has 6 faces(all square shaped) of equal area, where area of any face=\((edge)^2\)
So, surface area of the block=\(6*2^2=24\) sq. inches

Each face is 2^2 = 4 square inches, and there are 6 faces on a cube. Thus, the surface area is 6 x 2^2 = 6 x 4 = 24 square inches.
Answer: E
