The radius of the circle is also half of the square diagonal. Thus, the diagonal of the square is 2k. Then, we know that the diagonal is equal to sqrt(2)l where l is the side of the square. We can, therefore, derive the length of the side of the square rearranging sqrt(2)l = 2k as l = 2k/sqrt(2). Then, the area of the square is l^2 = 4*k^2/2 = 2*k^2.
Answer E!
