For this case the first thing you should do is observe that the diameter of the four semicircles is the same.

Therefore, we can decompose the figure as follows:


1) We draw the diameters of the four semicircles to form a square.


2) We divide the figure into a square and four semicircles


3) The total area is the sum of the area of the square, plus the area of the 4 semicircles.


Answer:

c)as a square and four semicircles
