    The answer is B. 196 π mi2

    (1) Find radius r:

    The area of the circle is:

    A = r²π

    A = 49π mi²

    49π = r²π

    49 = r²

    r = √49 = 7 mi

    (2) Find the surface area of the sphere.

    The surface area of the sphere is:

    A = 4πr²

    r = 7 mi

    A = 4π * 7²

    A = 4π * 49

    A = 196π mi²
