The given cylinder has a height of 7.5 cm and volume of 150 cubic centimeters,


\begin{gathered} h=7.5\text{ cm} \\ V=150\text{ cm}^3 \end{gathered}

Consider that the volume and base area of a right circular cylinder are related as,


V=A* h

Substitute the values and solve for A,


\begin{gathered} 150=A*7.5 \\ A=(150)/(7.5) \\ A=20 \end{gathered}

Thus, the base area of the given cylinder is 20 sq. cm.

Therefore, option b is the correct choice.
