Electric flux through the face of cube located at  x=x parallel to y-z plane is only due to x-component of electric field acting at each point of this plane. x-component of electric field on this plane is 3xi^ V/m . Electric flux through this face is =3 xdy dz . This is inward electric flux.
Electric flux at the face of cube located at x=x+dx parallel to y-z plane is only due to x-component of electric field acting at each point of this plane. x-component of electric field on this plane is 3x+dxi^ V/m. Electric flux through this face is=3x+dx dy dz. This is outward electric flux.
Net electric flux through these two surfaces =3x+dx dy dz3xdy dz
(Outward electric flux)

Likewise, net electric flux through surfaces parallel to x-z plane and parallel to x-y  plane are   4 dx dy dz and 5 dx dy dz respectively. Both of these are outward fluxes.
Total electric flux through the cube  ϕtot=3 dx dy dz+4 dx dy dz+5 dx dy dz=12 dx dy dz
Option (B) is correct, Option (A) is wrong
Since, ϕ0 , the net charge enclosed by the cube is not zero.
Option (C) is wrong, Option (D) is correct
