To convert the hexadecimal (base 16) number 1C to decimal (base 10), you can use the positional values of each digit:

1. The rightmost digit (C) is in the 16^0 position.
2. The next digit (1) is in the 16^1 position.

Now, convert the digits:

- C in hexadecimal is equal to 12 in decimal.
- The digit 1 in hexadecimal is equal to 1 in decimal.

Now, calculate the decimal value:

\[
1 \times 16^1 + 12 \times 16^0 = 1 \times 16 + 12 \times 1 = 16 + 12 = 28
\]

So, the base 16 number 1C is equal to 28 in base 10.

The correct response is **28**.
