Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for the area of a rectangle

The area of a rectangle is given by the formula \( A = \text{length} \times \text{width} \).

Step2: Identify the length and width from the diagram

From the diagram, the length of the rectangle is \( 16 \) units and the width is \( 5 \) units.

Step3: Calculate the area

Substitute the values of length and width into the formula: \( A = 16 \times 5 \).
\( 16 \times 5 = 80 \).

Answer:

B. 80
