I gave my students this multiple choice question: A timber company is dividing a 10,000 hectare forest into 5 sections. Which unit is most appropriate to use when showing the area of the divided sections?

Only one answer is correct among these 4 choices:
- square inches (in.^2)
- square meters (m^2)
- square kilometers (km^2)
- square centimeters (cm^2)

Could you tell me which one is correct?

square kilometers (km^2)
