A. Omar ran 950 meters farther than Paula.

To compare their distances, we need to convert them to the same unit. Since we are asked for the difference in meters, let's convert Paula's distance from kilometers to meters:

Paula ran 3 km = 3,000 meters.

Now we can subtract:

4,200 meters - 3,000 meters = 1,200 meters

Therefore, Omar ran 1,200 meters farther than Paula. This means that option A is correct.
