Given,

The radius of the sphere is


r=7\text{ cm}

The surface area of the sphere is


SA\text{ = 4}*(22)/(7)* r^2

Solution,

Calculate the surface area of the sphere is


\begin{gathered} SA\text{ = 4}*(22)/(7)*\lparen7\text{ cm\rparen}^2 \\ SA\text{ = 4}*22*7 \\ SA\text{ = 616 cm}^2 \end{gathered}

Thus, the surface area of the sphere is 616 sq. cm.

Therefore, the given option (c) is correct.
