  B.  The area of P is 9 times the area of Q.

Step-by-step explanation:

The areas of similar figures are related by the square of the scale factor of their linear dimensions. The ratio of side lengths is ...

  side of P : side of Q = 6 : 2 = 3 : 1

So, the ratio of areas is ...

  area of P : area of Q = 3² : 1² = 9 : 1

The area of P is 9 times that of Q.
