Solution:

Given the graphs of


\begin{gathered} y=x, \\ y=-x+4, \\ y=0 \end{gathered}

to be as plotted below:

The region ABC is bounded as shown above.

To find its area, the region ABC takes the shape of a triangle. Thus, we are to evaluate the area of the triangle ABC.

Step 1: Evaluate the midpoint between the distance AB.

The midpoint (x,y) of the distance AB is evaluated as


\begin{gathered} (x,y)=((x_1+x_2)/(2),(y_1+y_2)/(2)) \\ \text{where} \\ x_1=0,y_1=0,x_2=2,y_2=2 \\ \text{thus,} \\ (x,y)=((0+2)/(2),(0+2)/(2)) \\ =(1,1) \end{gathered}

Thus, the midpoint of the distance AB is (1,1).

Step 2: Evaluate the height of the region (triangle).

The height of the region is the same as the distance between points A and the midpoint of the distance AB.

Thus,

The distance is evaluated as


\begin{gathered} d=\sqrt[]{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2} \\ \text{where} \\ x_1=2,y_1=2,x_2=1,y_2=1 \\ \text{thus,} \\ d=\sqrt[]{(1_{}-2_{})^2+(1_{}-2_{})^2} \\ =\sqrt[]{(-1_{})^2+(-1_{})^2} \\ =\sqrt[]{1+1} \\ d=\sqrt[]{2} \end{gathered}

Step 3: Evaluate the distance between points B and C.

The distance is evaluated similarly as


\begin{gathered} d=\sqrt[]{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2} \\ \text{where} \\ x_1=0,y_1=0,x_2=4,y_2=0 \\ \text{thus,} \\ d=\sqrt[]{(4_{}-0_{})^2+(0_{}-0_{})^2} \\ =\sqrt[]{4^2+0^2} \\ d=4\text{ units} \end{gathered}

Step 4: Evaluate the area of the triangle ABC.

Given that the distance BC is 4 units and the height of the region is √2 units, the area of the region ABC is evaluated as the area of the triangle ABC.

Thus,


\begin{gathered} \text{Area = }(1)/(2)*4*\sqrt[]{2} \\ \Rightarrow Area\text{ =2}\sqrt[]{2} \end{gathered}

Hence, the area of the region is


2\sqrt[]{2}

The fourth option is the correct answer.
