The circumference of the circle is given by the following formula:

2 * π * radius

Since the diameter equal two times the radius, that can also be written as:

2 * π * radius = diameter * π

Therefore, comparing the above formula with the given value of the circumference, we see that:

diameter * π = 15π in

Dividing both sides of this equation by π, we find:

diameter * π/π = 15π in/π

diameter = 15 in

Thus, the last option is correct.
