Answer:

1800 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a prism is the sum of the areas of its faces.

⇒ Surface area of rectangle prism = 2(LH) + 2(BH) + 2(LB)

⇒ Surface area of rectangle prism = 2(LH) + 2(BH) + 2(LB) = 450 m²

⇒ 2(LH + BH + LB) = 450 m²

Finding the surface area if the dimensions are doubled:

⇒ 2[(2L × 2H) + (2B × 2H) + (2L × 2B)]

⇒ 2[(4LH) + (4BH) + (4LB)]

⇒ 2[4LH + 4BH + 4LB]

⇒ 2[4(LH + BH + LB)]

⇒ 2[2 × 2(LH + BH + LB)]

⇒ 2[2(450)]                                                           [2(LH + BH + LB) = 450 m²]

⇒ 2[900]

1800 m² (Option C)
