C Correct answer
Explanation

The lateral surface area of a cylinder is the circumference of the base multiplied by the height, which is 2 * pi * r * h.

AI explanation

The lateral surface area of a cylinder is found by multiplying the circumference of its circular base by its height. The circumference is 2 pi r, so multiplying this by the height h gives the formula 2 pi r h.
