Without any calculations it's evident it can't be neither B (both numbers are even, so they're divisible by 2) nor C (the numbers end in 0 and 5, so they're divisible by 5).
A.

Both numbers have a factor of 3, so they're not relatively prime.
That means it must be D. But, let's check it.

Indeed, those two numbers are relatively prime.
The answer is A. 88.8 cm2
Work:
74 x 2 = 148
14.8 = 29.6
Add them = 177.6
then
