The correct answer is option 3: 600 C.

Electric charge is measured in coulombs (C), which represents the quantity of electrons flowing through a circuit. The amount of electric charge can be calculated by multiplying the current (I) flowing through the circuit with the time (t) it flows for.

In this case, the current is given as 1.0 A, and the time is given as 10 minutes. However, we need to convert the time from minutes to seconds in order to be consistent with the standard SI unit.

Since 1 minute is equal to 60 seconds, 10 minutes is equal to 10 * 60 = 600 seconds.

Now we can calculate the amount of electric charge:

Electric charge (Q) = Current (I) * Time (t)

Electric charge (Q) = 1.0 A * 600 s

Electric charge (Q) = 600 C

Therefore, the amount of electric charge that flows through the circuit is 600 C.
