You all are applying formula for full cycle, but in question we asked to find rms for half cycle. If we apply formula for the half cycle answer may be wrong.

Avg.value = 0.636*Max.value.
Max.value = 12/0.636 = 18.86.

but,

RMS value = Max.value/1.414.
RMS value = 18.86/1.414=13.34.

So, the option is [A].

Why we are not directly taken formula for half wave rectifier.

Form factor= (rms/avg).

RMS value = V(peak value)*.707
V(average value)= Vpk*.637

Therefore, RMS valu =Vav*(.707/.637)

Vrms = 12*1.11 = 13.31= 13.33.
