Those four expressions are taken in quadrants QI, QII, QIII, and QIV respectively. 

The graph is this rhombus:



Its area consists of four right triangle each with base 5 and height 3.

Each triangle has area .

Since there are 4 congruent right triangles in the area of the rhombus,

the answer is , choice B.
