C. The area is increased by a factor of 25.

Hope this helps!

Answer: C. The area is increased by an area of 25

Explanation:

First, multiply the given dimensions:

8x7=56

Next, multiply each dimension by 5 (8 x 5 = 40, 7 x 5 = 35) and multiply the two new products together:

40x35=1400

Finally, divide the two new products to get 25.

1400/56=25

Therefore, your answer is C.
