B Correct answer
Explanation

Circumference C = 2 * pi * r = 30 * pi, so r = 15. The area A = pi * r^2 = pi * 15^2 = 225 * pi.

AI explanation

Using the circumference formula, 2 times pi times radius equals 30 pi, which means the radius is 15. Apply the area of a circle formula, pi times radius squared, to get pi times 15 squared. This calculates to 225 pi.
