The correct expressions that show the relationship between the circumference and the area of a circle are:

  1. C = 2πr (This equation defines the circumference of a circle.)
  2. A = πr² (This equation defines the area of a circle.)

Out of the options provided, both C = 2πr and A = πr² are correct.

If you were looking for just one expression that captures the relationship without needing both, you might refer to C and A in conjunction to highlight the relationship, but both individual formulas are valid in their own right.

The other expressions, C² = 4πA and C/d = π, are not standard relationships and are derived forms or interpretations that are less direct compared to the standard definitions of circumference and area. Thus, C = 2πr and A = πr² are the key formulas regarding the relationship.
