D 250 m³
The volume of a rectangular pyramid can be calculated using the formula V = (1/3) * area of the base * height.
The area of the base can be calculated by multiplying the length and width of the base. In this case, the length is 5 meters and the width is 3 meters, so the area of the base is 5 * 3 = 15 square meters.
Plugging the values into the formula, we get V = (1/3) * 15 * 10 = 50 cubic meters.
Therefore, the volume of the pyramid is 50 m³.
Therefore, the correct answer is C) 50 m³
