The OA is C, as you can see under the spoiler in the first post. Can you please tell what exactly is unclear so that I know what to elaborate? Thank you!

I can't understand how the hemisphere would lie on top of a rectangle with dimensions (50x3), don't we need a circular base for a hemisphere?

The confusion seems to arise from a misunderstanding of the shape. The shape is not a hemisphere. Instead, imagine four semicircles attached to each side of the square, forming the flower-shaped sign as shown in the figure above, where the sign itself is 3 centimeters in height/thickness.
