To find the volume of a cylinder (which represents the round bale of hay), you can use the formula for the volume of a cylinder:

\[
V = \pi r^2 h
\]

where:
- \( V \) is the volume,
- \( r \) is the radius of the base,
- \( h \) is the height.

Given:
- The diameter of the cylinder is 5 ft, so the radius \( r \) is half of that:
\[
r = \frac{5}{2} = 2.5 \text{ ft}
\]
- The height \( h \) is given as 4 ft.

Now plug these values into the formula:

1. Calculate \( r^2 \):
\[
r^2 = (2.5)^2 = 6.25
\]

2. Substitute \( r \) and \( h \) into the volume formula:
\[
V = \pi (6.25)(4) = 25\pi \text{ ft}^3
\]

Thus, the volume of the round bale of hay is \( 25\pi \) ft³.

From the options given, it seems like the correct choice is not listed. However, based on the calculation, the volume is \( 25\pi \) ft³. If you need to choose from the available options, it appears there may be a mistake in either the question or the options provided.
