To convert liquid oxygen to gaseous oxygen, we need to use the conversion factor of 1 L of liquid oxygen to 342.8 L of gaseous oxygen. Therefore, 10 lbs of liquid oxygen would be equivalent to 10 x 454 = 4540 g of liquid oxygen. When we convert this to gaseous oxygen using the conversion factor, we get 4540 x 342.8 = 1555,392 L of gaseous oxygen. Rounding to the nearest thousand, we get 3,428 L of gaseous oxygen. Thus, the correct answer is C.
