To calculate the surface area of a right circular cylinder, we use the formula:

\[
\text{Surface Area} = 2\pi r(h + r)
\]

where:
- \( r \) is the radius,
- \( h \) is the height,
- \( \pi \) is a constant (we'll use \( 3.14 \) as given).

Given:
- Diameter = 15.5 cm, therefore, the radius \( r = \frac{15.5}{2} = 7.75 \) cm.
- Height \( h = 28 \) cm.

Now we can plug these values into the formula:

\[
\text{Surface Area} = 2 \times 3.14 \times 7.75 \times (28 + 7.75)
\]

First, calculate \( h + r \):

\[
h + r = 28 + 7.75 = 35.75 \, \text{cm}
\]

Now substitute back into the surface area formula:

\[
\text{Surface Area} = 2 \times 3.14 \times 7.75 \times 35.75
\]

Calculating each step:

1. \( 2 \times 3.14 = 6.28 \)
2. \( 7.75 \times 35.75 = 277.5625 \)
3. Finally, multiply:

\[
\text{Surface Area} = 6.28 \times 277.5625 \approx 1745.085
\]

Rounding to two decimal places:

\[
\text{Surface Area} \approx 1745.09 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

Based on this calculation, none of the provided answer options match the result exactly, but the closest value would typically be required to choose between the provided options; however, if this is a strict mathematical question, then none are valid.

If you made a mistake in providing the dimensions or the values, please double-check, as \( 1745.09 cm^2 \) seems not to be in the options provided.
