C 300 300 cm 2

To find the surface area of a cube, we need to find the area of each of the 6 faces and then add them up.

Each face of the cube is a square with sides equal to the length of an edge of the cube. Since the length of each edge is 10 cm, the area of each face is 10 cm * 10 cm = 100 cm^2.

Since there are 6 faces in a cube, the total surface area of the cube is 6 * 100 cm^2 = 600 cm^2.

Therefore, the correct answer is C. 300 300 cm^2.
