B Correct answer
Explanation

The largest square inscribed in a circle has a diagonal equal to the circle's diameter, which is 8 cm. The area of a square with diagonal $d$ is $d^2 / 2$. Thus, the area is $8^2 / 2 = 64 / 2 = 32$ square centimeters. Distractors represent incorrect formulas or area of the circumscribed square (64).
