    The answer to this question is D = 2

    Explanation:

    First of all, we know that the circumference of a circle C = 2πr

    Thus, to get the rate at which the circumference of the circle is changing, we differentiate this above formula and we get

    C' = 2π

    Also, to calculate the area of a circle, we use the formula

    A = πr^2

    In similar manner, the rate at which the area is changing is to differentiate the formula for Area and thus we get;

    A' = 2πr

    From the question; At a certain instant, the rate of increase in the area of the circle is numerically equal to twice the rate of increase in its circumference.

    Thus;

    A' = 2C'

    2πr = 2 (2π)

    2πr = 4π

    r = 4π/2π

    r = 2

    Since r = radius, the radius at that instant = 2
