A. add the areas of both bases to the rectangular area around the cylinder.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we flatten out the cylinder we would have two circles and a rectangle. When you roll up the rectangle, it would make the body of the cylinder. Surface area by definition the total area the surface of an object occupies.
