We need to find the surface area of the given cube.

Now, looking at the given image, the cube has 6 squares.

Hence, the surface area is the sum of the area of the six squares that cover it.

Let's find the area for one square, which is given by:


\begin{gathered} A=L^2 \\ \text{Where L=5, then:} \\ A=(5cm)^2 \\ A=25cm^2 \end{gathered}

If the cube has 6 squares, then we multiply 6 by the area of one square to find the surface area.

Therefore, the surface area is:


\begin{gathered} SA=6\cdot A \\ SA=6(25cm^2) \\ SA=150cm^2 \end{gathered}

The correct answer is option C.
