3,520,000 square meters
4,840,000 square meters
6,720,000 square meters
8,560,000 square meters

Answer: 4,840,000 square meters

Explanation:

Each square has an area of (400m)^2 or 160,000 m^2 each square.

There are 390 squares, so:

(30 squares)*(160,000 m^2/square) = 4,800,000 m^2

4,840,000 square meters comes closest
