I would say 16cm^2.

The radius of the circle is equal to 2cm.

The diameter of the circle is equal to 2 times the radius is equal to 4cm.

The diameter of the circle is equal to one side of the square since the circle is inscribed in the square.

The area of the square is equal to s^2 is equal to 4^2 is equal to 16cm^2.

Answer is selection d.
