To find the area of a circle, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Area} = \pi r^2
\]

where \( r \) is the radius of the circle. The radius is half of the diameter. Since the diameter is 10 millimeters, the radius \( r \) is:

\[
r = \frac{10}{2} = 5 \text{ mm}
\]

Now, substituting the radius into the area formula using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):

\[
\text{Area} = 3.14 \times (5)^2 = 3.14 \times 25 = 78.5 \text{ square mm}
\]

Therefore, the estimated area of the circle is **78.5 square mm**.

So the correct answer is:

**O 78.5 square mm**.
