The triangle PQR is a right triangle (since 12^2 = 8^2 + 6^2, which confirms the Pythagorean theorem).

The formula for the area of a triangle is 1/2 * base * height.

Here, we can take PQ as the base and PR as the height (or vice versa, it doesn't matter in multiplication).

So, the area of triangle PQR = 1/2 * PQ * PR
= 1/2 * 6 cm * 8 cm
= 24 cm^2

So, the correct answer is not listed in the options given. It should be 24 cm^2.
