Final answer:

Without specific details, it's impossible to solve the given surface area problem. Surface area calculation typically involves adding areas of all the object's faces and rounding follows standard mathematical rules.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question provided lacks sufficient context and numbers to identify which geometric shape's surface area needs to be found or to provide calculations, thus it is not possible to provide the correct answer from the options given (A through D). However, I can offer general guidance on how to approach a surface area problem.

Surface area calculation generally involves adding the areas of all faces or surfaces of a three-dimensional object. For example, the surface area of a cube is calculated by finding the area of one face (length × width) and then multiplying that by 6, since a cube has six identical faces.

To round to the hundredths place, one should look at the third decimal place. If this number is 5 or greater, one should round up the second decimal place. Conversely, if it is less than 5, leave the second decimal place as it is. This can be seen in the provided instruction that a calculation of 201.867 rounds up to 201.87, because the third decimal digit (7) is greater than 5.
