To solve this problem, we will use the following formula for the surface area of a cylinder:
[tex]A=2\pi rh+2\pi r^2,[/tex]
where r is the radius of the base, and h is the height of the cylinder.
Substituting h= 10 ft, and r = 3 ft in the above formula, we get:
[tex]A=2\pi(3ft)(10ft)+2\pi(3ft)^2.[/tex]
Simplifying, we get:
[tex]A=244.92ft^2.[/tex]
Answer: Option C.
