Explanation
Correct answer: C.
Choice C is correct. The volume of right circular cylinder A is given by the expression , where is the radius of its circular base and is its height. The volume of a cylinder with twice the radius and half the height of cylinder A is given by , which is equivalent to . Therefore, the volume is twice the volume of cylinder A, or .
Desmos solution:
Note: The radius factor is squared but the height factor is not, so 2^2 * 1/2 doubles the volume.

Why the other choices are wrong
Choice A
Choice A is incorrect and likely results from not multiplying the radius of cylinder A by .
Choice B
Choice B is incorrect and likely results from not squaring the in when applying the volume formula.
Choice D
Choice D is incorrect and likely results from a conceptual error.
