To simplify the expression
[tex]\[ \left(x^{10}\right)\left(x^2\right) \][/tex]

we can use the laws of exponents. Specifically, when multiplying two powers with the same base, we add their exponents. Therefore, we get:

[tex]\[ (x^{10})(x^2) \][/tex]

Adding the exponents:

[tex]\[ x^{10 + 2} = x^{12} \][/tex]

Thus, the simplified form of the expression is [tex]\( x^{12} \)[/tex].

So, the correct answer is:
[tex]\[ x^{12} \][/tex]
