A
749\(\pi\)m2
B
700\(\pi\)m2
C
350\(\pi\)m2
D
98\(\pi\)m2

Correct Option: B

Total Surface Area of an open cylinder is:

\[ TSA = 2\pi rh + \pi r^2 \]

Convert units:

Length = 50 cm = 0.5 m

Compute areas:

Curved surface area:

\[ 2\pi (7)(0.5) = 7\pi \]

Area of base:

\[ \pi (7^2) = 49\pi \]

Total:

\[ 7\pi + 49\pi = 56\pi \]
