D) 12.8 m

To find the resultant of two displacement vectors, we add them head-to-tail. The resultant will have a magnitude that falls within the range of the individual magnitudes (6.0 m and 8.0 m).

Therefore, the resultant cannot be 12.8 m as it is not within the possible range of values for the two given vectors.
