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 times the area of the red triangle.

The area of the red triangle is calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} \] Given the values, we compute: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 1 \times 1 = \frac{1}{2} \text{ square units} \]

Therefore, the required area is: \[ 4 \times \frac{1}{2} = 2 \text{ square units} \]

Final Answer: \( \boxed{2} \) square units
