D Correct answer
Explanation

The equation (x+2)^2 + (y+3)^2 = 25 represents a circle with radius squared = 25, so r = 5. Area = pi * r^2 = 25 * pi.

AI explanation

The equation of the circle is (x + 2)^2 + (y + 3)^2 = 25, which is in the standard form (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2. This reveals that the square of the radius is 25. The area of a circle is found using the formula Area = (pi)(r^2), so substituting r^2 = 25 gives an area of 25(pi).
