Answer: C. The area is larger, and it is three times the circumference.

Explanation:

Circumference of a circle = 2 * pi * r

Circumference of a circle = 2 * pi * 6

Circumference of a circle = 12 * 3.14

Circumference of a circle = 37.68

Area of a circle = pi * r²

Area of a circle = pi * 6²

Area of a circle = 3.14 * 36

Area of a circle = 113.04

Area ÷ Circumference

114.04 ÷ 37.68 = 3

The area is larger than the circumference; it is three times the circumference. Therefore the correct answer is C. The area is larger, and it is three times the circumference.
