Answer: Choice C. 34pi/3

Work Shown:

x = central angle = 255 degrees

r = radius = 4

A = area of sector

A = (x/360)*pi*r^2 ... see note below

A = (255/360)*pi*4^2

A = 34pi/3

note: the formula only works if the central angle x is in degrees. If x is in radians, then use the formula A = (x/2)*r^2
