Answer:

C. 52 ft2

Step-by-step explanation:

Rectangle:

Has two dimensions, which are height(h) and base(b).

The area is: A = b*h

In this question:

We have that that A = b*h = 208.

New dimensions:

Both the dimensions are half(1/2) of last year.

So

A = (b/2)*(h/2) = (b*h)/4

Since b*h = 208

A = (b*h)/4 = 208/4 = 52
