The surface area of a cone can be found using the formula:

Surface Area = π * radius * slant height

Substituting the given values:

Surface Area = 3.14 * 10 inches * 15 inches

Surface Area = 3.14 * 150 square inches

Surface Area = 471 square inches

Therefore, the correct answer is "471 square inches".
