C Correct answer
Explanation

Total surface area of a hemisphere = 3 * pi * r^2. TSA = 3 * (22/7) * 7 * 7 = 3 * 22 * 7 = 462 cm^2.

AI explanation

The total surface area of a hemisphere equals 3 pi r squared, combining the curved surface and the flat circular base. Substituting the radius of 7 cm gives 3 times (22/7) times 7 squared. This results in a total surface area of 462 square cm.
