To determine the area of the circular layer of oil after \( t \) hours, we need to use the area function \( A(r) = \pi r^2 \) and substitute the radius function \( r(t) = 0.5t^3 \) into it.

1. **Substituting \( r(t) \) into \( A(r) \)**:

\[
A(r(t)) = A(0.5t^3) = \pi(0.5t^3)^2
\]

2. **Calculating \( A(0.5t^3) \)**:

\[
A(0.5t^3) = \pi(0.25t^6) = 0.25\pi t^6
\]

So the function that gives the area of the circular layer of oil after \( t \) hours is:

\[
A(r(t)) = 0.25\pi t^6
\]

3. **Finding the domain**:
- The function \( r(t) = 0.5t^3 \) is defined for all real numbers \( t \), but since \( t \) represents time, it must be non-negative. Thus, the domain is \( t \geq 0 \).

Therefore, the correct function to determine the area after \( t \) hours is:

\[
(A\circ r)(t) = 0.25\pi t^6
\]

and the domain is:

\[
t \geq 0.
\]

The corresponding response is:
\[
(A \circ r)(t) = 0.25\pi t^6 \quad \text{and the domain is} \quad t \geq 0.
\]
