Let \mathrm{AB} be the chord of length \mathrm{\sqrt{2}, O} be the centre of the circle and let \mathrm{O C}  be the perpendicular from \mathrm{O } on \mathrm{AB }. Then \mathrm{A C=B C=\sqrt{2} / 2=1 / \sqrt{2} }



In \mathrm{\triangle \mathrm{OBC}, \mathrm{OB}=\mathrm{BC} \operatorname{cosec} 45^{\circ}=(1 / \sqrt{2})^{\prime} \sqrt{2}=1 }
Area of the circle \mathrm{=\pi(\mathrm{OB})^{2}=\pi }.

Hence (C) is the correct answer.
