Correct option is A)

As we know that, total flux due to a charge enclosed in a region is given as  (Gauss's law)
Here, the charge is on a corner of each of the 8 cubes.
Hence, an equal amount of flux will spread outwards through each of the cubes due to symmetry.

Hence,  the magnetic flux through each cube is given as .
Since three faces don't have any effect, the flux will be divided into three parts again.

Therefore, total flux will  become, 
The correct option A.
