First, we need to find the total length of the border. Since there are four sides, we multiply the length of each side by 2 (for the top and bottom borders and left and right borders). 
Total length of border = (12.1 x 2) + (6.7 x 2) 
Total length of border = 24.2 + 13.4 
Total length of border = 37.6 ft

Then, we multiply the total length of the border by the cost per foot: 
Cost of border = 37.6 x 3.27 
Cost of border = $122.95

Therefore, the answer is B: $122.95.
