To find the surface area of a cube, we can use the formula:

\[
\text{Surface Area} = 6 \times \text{side}^2
\]

Given that the dimensions of the cube (side length) are 5 cm, we can substitute this value into the formula:

\[
\text{Surface Area} = 6 \times (5 \, \text{cm})^2
\]
\[
= 6 \times 25 \, \text{cm}^2
\]
\[
= 150 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

Therefore, the surface area of the wooden block is \( 150 \, \text{cm}^2 \).

The answer is C. \( 150 \, \text{cm}^2 \).
