The correct answer is 119 square inches.
To find the area of a rectangle, you multiply the length by the width. In this case, the width (height) of the rectangle is 7 inches and the length (10 inches longer than the height) is 7 + 10 = 17 inches.
Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 7 inches x 17 inches = 119 square inches.
