The correct answer is C. The area of a circle is calculated using the formula A = πr², where r is the radius of the circle. In this case, the diameter of the hamburger is 5 cm, so the radius is half of that, which is 2.5 cm. Plugging this value into the formula, we get A = π(2.5)² = π(6.25) = 19.625 cm².
