The correct response is 100 square feet.

To find the area of a triangle, we use the formula A = 1/2 * b * h, where A is the area, b is the base, and h is the height.

For triangle C, the base is 10 feet and the height is 10 feet. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

A = 1/2 * 10 * 10
A = 1/2 * 100
A = 50

Therefore, the area of triangle C is 100 square feet.
