E.
The actual surface area would stay the same.

Answer 1

surface area is area so it's in^2 or inches squared
12 in=1 foot therfor
1in<1 foot
so therfor if we converted the surface area to feet, then the number would decrease, but the actual area would stay the same because we just converted the units, we didn't change the actuall area

therfor the answers are A and E
