Solution

The correct options are
A 10
B 35
C 70
Area of parallelogram = base x height
The vertical height between any of the parallel sides is less than or equal to the length of the other side in a parallelogram.
Therefore, the maximum area of the given parallelogram is $10 \times 7 = 70 c m^{2}$ . It can have any area which does not exceed $70 c m^{2}$ .
