Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation: Scale Factor is defined as a ratio between the actual figure to that of the other figure.

And as it is clearly given in the question that 2 cm of length corresponds to 100 meters so the ratio comes out to be 1:50.

So the scale factor of the actual farm to the photo is A that is 1 to 50.
