The first statement is true. Reasoning below.

= = =

We want to find the area of a fixed circle, so we can throw out the last option. If
r changes at all, then so does the area of the circle.

For
s to increase would require using a circumscribed polygon with less sides. Again, the circle is fixed, so only a certain length
s can fit inside the circle. This eliminates the third option.

Note that if we use a regular hexagon, then
s=r automatically, because the component triangles that make up the hexagon are equilateral. Increasing
h would require that we use a polygon with more sides, which would simultaneously make
s stray away from
r. In other words, if
h increases, then
s decreases, so we can never eventually have
s\to r (
r is fixed).

That leaves the first option. Indeed, as
n increases, we get a polygon that looks increasingly rounder and more like a perfect circle. At the same time, that means
h gets larger, but would be bounded above by the circle's perimeter. So as
h increases indefinitely, it will eventually "be equal" (in the limit sense) to
r, so that
rh\to r^2.
