The surface area of a cube is calculated by finding the area of one face and multiplying it by the number of faces.

Each face of the cube is a square with dimensions of 10 cm x 10 cm. The area of one face is 10 cm x 10 cm = 100 cm^2.

Since a cube has 6 faces, the total surface area of the cube is 100 cm^2 x 6 = 600 cm^2.

Therefore, the correct answer is D) 600 cm^2.
