    C

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The scale factor is a quantity that "scales" another quantity.

    Since, the dimensions of large is "3 times" that of the smaller box, the scale factor is 3.

    This means, that we can multiply any dimension (length, width, or height) of the small box by 3 to get respective dimension of large box.

    Remember, to get area, we need to multiply by scale factor squared. To get volume, we need to multiply by scale factor cubed.

    Since, surface area is given of smaller box, we need to multiply by scale factor squared (3^2 = 9) to get surface area of larger box.

    Hence, 79 * 9 = 711 cm^2

    C is the correct answer.
