Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation

Area of path = Area of (pond+path) - Area of pond

The area of the pond with the path: The radius = (4 + 2.5)m = 6.5m

Area = \(\pi \times r^{2}\) = \(\frac{22}{7} \times 6.5^{2} \approxeq 132.79m^{2}\)

Area of the pond = \(\frac{22}{7} \times 4^{2} \approxeq 50.29m^{2}\)

 Area of the path  = (132.79 - 50.29)m^{2} = 82.50m^{2}\)
