Blanket 3x4 needs 14 untis of border.
Blanket 2x6 needs 16 units of border.
Blanket 1x12 needs 26 units of border.

There is not enough information to know which it is.

Your analysis is correct. Assuming the blanket is at least rectangular. But only one of the answers match the possibilities, therefore it's save to assume the answer is 14 and that the blanket must be 3x4.

Sometimes the answers on a multiple choice question provide information you can use.

A 1x12 blanket doesn't need a border; it needs more blanket.
