A is good. Plazas are often also considered parks, but a park usually connotes green grass, etc., while a plaza or town square may be paved instead of grassy.
SO IT IS A?
It's either A or D. This is a bad question. Both would be correct. I'd choose A, but D is also correct:

thank you ill try a :)
Just for your understanding, what term is used to describe an open, public or common area varies from place to place. The "village green" in a New England town or a small British village is a town square or plaza, but is called the "village green" often. St. Mark's Plaza in Venice, Italy is completely paved. Union Square in San Francisco, California is mostly paved, with some greenery, but nothing like a lawn. In San Francisco, Hallidie Plaza is in no way a "town square," is paved, but is an open space for common usage, so properly called a plaza. A park, however, is USUALLY a larger space. Our national parks are not village squares or plazas, for example. The local park may include a playground. So these terms are all rather vague and used somewhat interchangeably.
But many big cities have "pocket parks" which may be only the size of a city lot, but are not town squares at all. They may all be plazas, but some of them are playgrounds that are called "pocket parks" while some may have trees and benches.
