A farmer lives from growing strawberries that are sold to a cooperative. The cooperative makes a purchase and sale contract in which the producer reports the planted area. To allow proper plant growth, strawberry seedlings are planted in the center of a rectangular area, 10 cm by 20 cm, as shown in the figure. Currently, his strawberry plantation occupies an area of $10000 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$, but the cooperative wants him to increase his production. For this, the farmer must increase the planted area by 20\%, maintaining the same planting pattern. The increase (in units) in the number of strawberry seedlings in his plantation should be (A) 10000. (B) 60000. (C) 100000. (D) 500000. (E) 600000.
