A focal length of the camera that is less than 305 mm (12 inches) is known as:

Focal length categorization reflects how wide or narrow a lens’s view is. Short focal lengths produce a wide field of view because the lens projects more of the scene onto the sensor, while long focal lengths magnify a scene and narrow the view. Since the focal length in question is less than 305 mm, it falls into the short focal length category. The other options aren’t related to lens naming here—an intervalometer is a timing device for interval shooting, and “two horizontal dimensions” isn’t a lens characteristic.
