The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

The graph below depicts both expressions.
Let S be the set of all points (x, y) in the x-y plane
The desired area is equal to 4 × the area of the red triangle. 
The area of the red triangle is calculated as 1/2 base multiplied by height, resulting in 1/2 square units. 
Consequently, the required area is 4 × 1/2, which equals 2 square units.
