As the two circles are max possible and are equal....
tey will have diameter of 8..

AREA of rectangle = $$16*8 = 128$$
AREA of two circles = $$2* pi * r^2 = 2pi*4^2 = 32pi = 32*3.1 = 100$$ approx..

ans $$= 128-100 = 28$$, this is closer to 27..

Area of the rectangle is 16 x 8 = 128

Area of 2 circle is $$2*\frac{22}{7}*4*4$$ ~ 100

Area of the remaining shape is 128 - 100 => 28

Hence answer will be (D) 28
