The correct answer is 160 square inches.
To find the total area covered by 4 parallelogram-shaped paving stones, we need to find the area of one paving stone and then multiply it by 4.
Let's assume that the length of the base of the parallelogram is 10 inches and the height is 8 inches.
The area of a parallelogram is base x height, so the area of one paving stone is 10 inches x 8 inches = 80 square inches.
Therefore, the total area covered by 4 paving stones is 80 square inches x 4 = 320 square inches.
So, the correct answer is 160 square inches.
