(A) Art is the right answer because out of all the cookies, Art's had an area of 10 in^2, which was the greatest area out of all the cookies' areas. Roger's cookie had an area of 8 in ^2, and both Paul and Trisha's cookies had an area of 6 in^2. This means Art makes less cookies, since his cookie area is the greatest. The answer is not that there is a tie between Paul and Trisha because they can make the most cookies with a given amount of cookie dough, not the least.
