Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

The angle subtended by the minor arc = \(\frac{\pi}{3} radians\)

The angle subtended by the major arc = \(2\pi - \frac{\pi}{3} = \frac{5\pi}{3}\)

Perimeter of the major arc = \(r\theta + 2r\)

= \(12 \times \frac{5\pi}{3} + 2(12) = 20\pi + 24\)

= \(4(5\pi + 6)\)
