12. There are 4 edges on one base, 4 edges on the other base, and 4 edges joining the 2 quadrilateral bases.

A quadrilateral prism has 12 edges, 8 vertices and 6 faces.

A hexahedron is a 3D shape with 6 faces. It CAN be a prism whose base is a square. But that is only one example. It can also be a prism whose base is any quadrilateral. It can also be something like a pentagonal pyramid (i.e. the base is a pentagon and the sides are made up of 5 triangles.)
It could be a pyramid with a quadrilateral base or a triangular prism. There are, of course, other related shapes that it could be.
The number of faces in a prism is one face for each of the sides of its cross-section plus the two end faces. A quadrilateral prism has a quadrilateral as its cross-section. Therefore it has 4 + 2 = 6 faces.

A prism with an n-sided base will have 2n vertices, n + 2 faces, and 3n edges. Your figure is a quadrilateral-based prism.
That depends on the shape of the base.
