Answer:

the correct answer is C

Step-by-step explanation:

When we express that the scale is 1:30 we mean that the objects of the realization are reduced by a factor of 30 in the graph, for example a distance of 30 cm in the graph is represented by a distance of 1 cm.

Therefore something that in the graph has n value to bring it to real size must be multiplied by the scale.

Applying this to our case if there is

10 boulder on the chart

in reality there are #_boulder = 10 30

#_boulder = 300 boulder

so the correct answer is C
