Answer: The correct option is D.
Explanation:
From the given figure it is noticed that the point C is the center of the circle and the length of the diameter is 18 cm.
We know the diameter is twice of the radius,
[tex]2r=d[/tex]
[tex]2r=18[/tex]
[tex]r=9[/tex]
Therefore, the radius of the circle is 9 cm.
The formula to find the area of the circle is,
[tex]A=\pi r^2[/tex]
[tex]A=\pi (9)^2[/tex]
[tex]A=\pi (81)[/tex]
[tex]A=254.469\approx 254[/tex]
Therefore, the D is the correct option. The area of the circle is 254 cm square.
