Area of the square is $$s^2$$, while its perimeter is $$4s$$. Then, the side of a square is a positive number, thus we focus on numbers from 1 on.

If units in the perimeter (or in the area) means the dimension, then we can notice that for $$1\leq s\leq 2$$, the area is greater than the perimeter, whereas for $$s\geq 3$$ it is the other way, i.e. the perimeter is greater than the area.

Thus, I would say answer is D
