see the attached figure to better understand the problem

Step

Find the area of the parallelogram

Find the area of the complete square and subtract the area of the four triangles

so

Area of the complete square

Area of the four triangles

Area of the parallelogram

Step

Find the area of the parallelogram

Find the area of the complete rectangle and subtract the area of the four triangles

so

Area of the complete rectangle

Area of the four triangles

Area of the parallelogram

Step

Compare the areas

therefore

the answer is the option

The area of parallelogram 1 is 4 square units greater than the area of parallelogram 2.

341
