It is given diameter of the small circle is 2, so radius of the next big circle is 2.
Diameter of the second big circle is 4, which is also the radius of the biggest circle.
Hence radius of A is 4
Area = pi*4^2
= 16pi
Answer is D

YZ is the diameter of the smallest circle. We know that YZ = 2. Also, notice that YZ is the radius of the medium sized circle. So, the diameter of the medium sized circle would be YZ + YZ = 2 + 2 = 4. And, this diameter (4) would be the radius of the largest circle, of whose area we need to find. So, pi*(4)^2 = 16pi.

Answer D.

As YZ = 2 therefore WX = 4 = Radius of the Circle A

Area of circle A = πr^2 = π * 4^2 = 16π

Ans D
