The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

The area of an orbit is proportional to the square of its radius.
For hydrogen atoms, the radius of the first excited state is four times the radius of the ground state. 
Since the area is proportional to \( r^2 \), the ratio of the areas is:\(\ \left(\frac{4r}{r}\right)^2 = 16:1\)
