First, we need to calculate the actual dimensions of the rectangular section of the map in kilometers using the scale.
For the length: 35 centimeters * 2 kilometers/5 centimeters = 14 kilometers
For the width: 15 centimeters * 2 kilometers/5 centimeters = 6 kilometers
Now, to find the area:
14 kilometers * 6 kilometers = 84 square kilometers
Therefore, the correct answer is not listed here.
