Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation

Area of sector = \(\frac{120}{360} \times \pi \times (3)^2 = 3 \pi\)

Area of triangle = \(\frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times 3 \times \sin 120^o\)

= \(\frac{9}{2} \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{9\sqrt {3}}{4}\)

Area of shaded portion = 3\(\pi - \frac{9\sqrt {3}}{4}\)

= 3 (\(\pi - 3 \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\))
