The given polynomial is (x+2)3.

We know the algebraic identity:
(a+b)3=a3+b3+3a2b+3ab2

Here, a=x  and b=2.

Therefore, using the above identity, we have,

a+b3=x3+23+(3x2×2)+(3x×22)

=x3+8+6x2+(3x×4)

=x3+6x2+12x+8

The coefficient of x is 12.

Therefore, the coefficient of x in the expansion of (x+2)3 is 12.

Hence, 12 is the correct answer.
