Solution

The correct option is A The Pacific Ocean is the largest ocean on earth with an area of 165.25 million square kilometers.

To use noun phrase in apposition, two noun phrases are placed next to each other in a clause and refer to same thing without using a conjunction, here “the Pacific Ocean”, hence Option B is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to the goal, hence incorrect.
