b. 120 square yards
c. 90 square yards
d. 900 square yards

Explanation:

Step1: Recall square area formula

Area = $s^2$, where $s$ = side length

Step2: Substitute side length value

$s = 30$ yards, so Area = $30^2$

Step3: Calculate the final area

$30^2 = 900$ square yards

Answer:

D. 900 square yards
