How to unlock the Well placed achievement in Battlefield 4 - Definitive Guide
After you scan the area, run down to where the enemies are, wait for at least two to come close enough together, toss, and detonate.
Right after that a convoy truck rolls up with another vehicle with a turret mounted on it. Take out the machine gunner then pull out the C4 again. You know what to do.
Feel free to use the remaining C4 on enemies scattered throughout the small refinery. Don't worry if you run out, there's a supply crate once you go through the tunnel.
The achievement is very simple and straight forward, just make sure you're not going too Rambo-like and die in the middle of the field. That does no one good.
Goodluck, we're all counting on you.
From here, I suggest you just progress as normal until you reach the next equipment cache later on, where you can refill your C4, and come back to it at any point for extra ammo. What I recommend is first sprinting up the scaffolding on your left hand side after exiting the pipe. There should be 3 enemies on this catwalk that you should be able to kill with 1 C4 charge, and you will unlock the achievement here if you've not missed any enemies. Otherwise, sprint towards the middle of the area, and kill some enemies near the truck, and sprint to the very back of this open battlefield to find 6-8 enemies all bunched up together, and you should be able to kill most of them with 1 or 2 C4 charges, unlocking the achievement.

After reuniting with your Tombstone crew you are tasked with escaping the schoolhouse to await a new extraction point. Before escaping you drop down to a lower level in front of a gadget stash. Equip C4 and blow the wall to escape (use the launcher on the wall to save a C4 charge). Exit outdoors and soon you're giving the Tactial Visor from squad leader Dunn. This is when you'll start using C4 to earn the trophy.
Don't scan the field with the visor, instead run straight towards the 3 trucks entering ahead. You have just enough time to toss a C4 towards the rear of the third truck, killing the 4 troops exiting the back.
Continue sprinting forward, a second truck and a gunner buggy will drive over the ridge. Disregard the buggy and head left towards the truck. 3 more troops will jump out of the back, toss a charge at them and detonate for your 5th-7th kill. Turn left, the driver of the truck will have jumped out, toss another charge at him for kill number 8. Regain health if needed from the buggy gunner, then proceed towards it and detonate another C4 at it.
You need one more kill, and if feeling disoriented use the visors to scan enemies. Otherwise run straight past the truck, you will see a small fence to the left and two soldiers. Toss another C4 towards either for kill 10, trophy unlocked!
If you run out of C4 before the 10th kill, don't restart the mission. Continue forward in the outdoor section and you will come to a pipe entrance. In this tunnel is another gadget stash. Refill your C4, there are plenty of enemies in the next outdoor section. The above method is simply the quickest way I found to unlock the trophy, but you do have to be quick and accurate with your tosses.
This was the only specific kill, mission trophy I was unable to earn on hard playthrough. The enemy's bullets were lethal before I could toss and detonate the C4 (and trying to escape from the C4 blast radius). For your sanity go for this trophy on easy. Keep in mind that starting a mission will erase your previous save checkpoint. If you are at a point past 'Baku' (it's the first mission) in the campaign, save this trophy until after completing the campaign.

As you progress through Mission 1: Baku, you will come to a small crate marked by a "gear" symbol on your map. Make sure you equip the C4 at this point. In the first section, you can mark the targets, and sneak around to kill all 4 of them with 3 C4 charges, although it's not completely necessary that you kill all of them. Now, after killing all of them, immediately sprint forward towards the objective where a truck with 3 enemies will stop. As soon as it stops, throw a C4 charge and detonate when they jump out to get another 3-4 kills.

This is best done on Easy, as can you get close to enemies without much worry about getting killed. You will gain access to the C4 early in the first mission when you are asked to blow up a wall. There will be plenty of enemies in the next area to get you close to the trophy. Switch to the C4 by pressing or (depending on whether you set them to your primary or secondary gadget) and run up to the trucks from which enemies will be deployed. Press to drop the C4, then run a short distance away to avoid the explosion, and press to detonate.
You may not kill enough enemies to unlock the trophy in the aforementioned area, but you should easily have enough after the next area. You can stand near gadget stashes to reload your C4. The trophy will pop after 10 kills.
