Answer:

C. 930 square centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

First, recall the standard conversion between cm and ft.


1\text{ ft}=30.48\operatorname{cm}

Therefore:


\begin{gathered} (1*1)ft^2=(30.48*30.48)cm^2 \\ =929.03\operatorname{cm}^2 \\ \approx930\text{ square cm} \end{gathered}

The correct choice is C.
