Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total cups of diced chicken needed, you can multiply the number of servings by the amount of diced chicken required per serving. In this case, the recipe requires 2 cups of diced chicken for each serving, and the worker is preparing 15 servings. So, to find the total cups of diced chicken needed, you can multiply 2 cups per serving by 15 servings:

Total cups of diced chicken = 2 cups/serving × 15 servings = 30 cups

Therefore, the correct answer is C. 30 cups.
