The correct option is B

Area and perimeter help us measure the size of 2D shapes. A perimeter is a path that surrounds a two-dimensional shape. The word comes from the Greek peri (around) and meter (measure). The term may be used either for the path or its length. It can be thought of as the length of the outline of a shape. The perimeter of a circle or ellipse is called its circumference.

The area is the quantity that expresses the extent of a two-dimensional figure or shape, or planar lamina, in the plane.In the other words, we can say that area is the part of plane or region occupied by the closed surface.
