It does appear to be correct  on edge 2021 gentlemen and fellow degenerates.    (º_º)

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the Δ LMN is given as: 4 square units.(Option B). See explanation below.

What is the solution to the above vertex problem?

Note that we are given the following vertices:
(1, -1), (3, 2), and (1, 3).; (x,y)

It is known that  the area of the triangle whose vertices are (x₁, y₁), (x₂, y₂), (x₃, y₃)  is:

1/2 [x₁(y₂-y₃) + x₂(y₃-y₁) + x₃(y₁-y₂)]

hence, the area of the above triangle is:
= 1/2 [1 (2-3) + 3(3-(-1)) + 1(-1-(-2))

= 4 Square units.
