Answer:

5040 square feet

Explanation:

Data provided in the question

Dimensions of the model:

7 feet by 5 feet

scale factor = 12

now,

the original dimensions of the plot after applying the factor

7 feet × 12 = 84 feet

5 feet × 12 = 60 feet

therefore,

The area = 84 feet × 60 feet = 5040 square feet

hence, the correct option is 5040 square feet
